Description

(China), Jianming Guqian Cidian., 1993, 785 pp., over 2000 illustrations, published in China. White cloth, with dust jacket, as new.

A catalogue of Chinese cash and early coinage with prices in Yuan for the several thousand illustrated coins. (illustrations and indexes make easy the identification of the coins). It is easy to use particularly if additional help from other English based texts are used. Many cash and shaped coins not readily sourced in other similar publications are illustrated and priced in this book and consequently becomes a useful companion to the other major Chinese language catalogue by Dr Ting Fu-Pao. Although the coins illustrated are not numbered a page reference becomes the identifier.
