SOUTHERN HAN: Anonymous, 900-971, lead cash (4.3g), H-15.108, graded 80(05) by GBCA Grading Company, natural flan crack, VF-XF, ex Dr. Dirk Löer Collection, ex Teutoburger Münzauktion Auction 63, Lot 35. In 917, Liu Yan proclaimed himself Emperor of a dynasty at first called the Great Yue, then the Han, and set up his capital at Canton, which he renamed Xingwangfu. The region had access to lead, making it a "convenient" metal for local casting, despite its inferiority as a currency material. The soft nature of lead meant that the coins did not last long in circulation compared to bronze or iron coins.
