WARRING STATES: Ba & Shu States, 300-225 BC, AE "bridge money" (9.77g), 122mm, plain on both sides, holed at top for suspension, tiny chip and casting hole at right corner, much brassy patina, XF, ex Dr. Dirk Löer Collection. Though colloquially known as 'bridge money,' these bronze 'bridges' are formally known only as funerary objects designed to imitate the stone chimes of the bianqing. Bridge Money pieces have now been dated to circa 306-221 BC and are accepted by many--but not all--Chinese numismatists as actual coins of Ba and Shu States during the Warring States period.
