WARRING STATES: State of Jin, 500-400 BC, AE spade money (25.3g), H-2.182, hollow-handled pointed shoulder type, uninscribed variety, small casting hole, a superb example with attractive patina, graded 'Genuine' by GBCA Grading Company, VF, ex Dr. Dirk Löer Collection. Spades of this type are found in Northeast Henan and Shanxi, the territory of the Duchy of Jin, later to become Zhao. They are held to be somewhat later in date than the square shouldered spades. Their shape seems to be designed for ease of tying together in bundles, rather than deriving from any particular agricultural instrument.
