CHINESE SPADE MONEY PENDANT - 300 B.C.

Lot Passed

Measures: 2.25" Tall x .1.25" Wide. Metal: Sterling Silver Border. Sure to be a conversation starter, this fascinating piece showcases an ancient coin from China known as Spade Money. Early in the development of coinage, the Chinese used figures shaped as farm implements instead of the round coins we are accustomed to today. Dating from around 250 B.C., this piece was from the city An-yang. Jeweler has set the coin in a handmade sterling silver frame. This pendant comes on a 16" black fashion cord necklace. Includes Certificate of Authenticity and descriptive brochure.
