NAN MING: Yu Min, 1674-1676, AE 10 cash (5.95g), H-21.123, yi fen at right on reverse, VF, ex Karl Adolphson Collection. Karl Adolphson (1884-1971) was born in Silvberg, Säter, Dalarnas County, Sweden on July 30, 1884. He was a lawyer (advokat) and operated his own law firm in Helsingborg, Skåne County, Sweden. He was married to Märta Maria Pettersson and together they had one son, Svante Ullvius who was born on April 26, 1925. Karl was an avid collector and assembled a vast collection of antiquities and coins. After he died in 1971, his widow and son sold many coins to a local coin dealer in Helsingborg. This firm continued to purchase coins from his son Svante until the 1990s. Firmly entrenched as a quasi independent ruler in Fujian, in 1674 Geng Jingzhong (Yu Min) rebelled against Qing rule along with the other two of the Three Feudatories Wu Sangui and Shang Zhixin, who were also governing enormous principalities in south China. On November 6, Yanping fell to armies commanded by Jieshu, Qing armies eventually defeated Geng, who surrendered in 1676 and pledged his support to putting down the other revolting feudatories. The Qing then used Geng's troops to fight the other feudatories until the civil war ended. Soon after the Qing final victory in 1681, the Kangxi Emperor had Geng executed by slow slicing for treason.
