Empire. Spring and Autumn (Eastern Zhou Dynasty). “Reclinate Shoulder Curved Feet Empty Hilt
Spade Money”, 6
th

th
Century BC. Chinese character “Wu” (not the same “Wu” as seen on the flat

the seven varieties known for this reclinate shoulder type spade money. Choice extremely fine, the
character is extraordinarily clear and the overall details of the coin is outstanding, the green patina on
this coin is pleasingly vivid, which adds the eye appeal, and the edges are still very sharp.
