The Bí
A modern take on an ancient classic. The coin - a floating flower jadeite disc with nice shape and thickness, cut and set at the center as a modern coin. The setting is 18-karat yellow gold.
Round metal coins with a round, and then later square hole in the center were first introduced around 350 BCE. The beginning of the Qin dynasty (221–206 BCE), the first dynasty to unify China, saw the introduction of a standardised coinage for the whole Empire. Subsequent dynasties produced variations on these round coins throughout the imperial period. At first the distribution of the coinage was limited to use around the capital city district, but by the beginning of the Han dynasty, coins were widely used for barter trade and payments.
