In 1981, China issued a set of stamps picturing some of the nation’s ancient coins. Those stamps were affixed to limited edition covers with encapsulated replicas of each coin. The coin replicas include a cowry-shaped bronze coin from the Shang Dynasty (16th-11th centuries BC), a shovel coin from the spring and autumn period (770-476 BC), plus a knife coin, a coin inscribed “Gong,” and a shovel coin, all from the warring states period (475-222 BC). Covers have neat Chinese characters and symbols and special cancellations. Real history you can hold in your hands. Order yours now.
