楚国爰金。战国时代。郢爰。 刻有铭文"郢爰"。製于今湖北省。製作时，先作有铭文的金钣（金版），再根据需要将其切成零星小块。早期金币中品相出彩的一枚，包浆漂亮，有底光，应是当时数一数二的金属製品。
CHINA. State of Chu. "Yuan Jin" Gold Cube Money, ND (ca. 475-221 B.C.). Warring States Period. Graded "65" by Hua Xia Coin Grading Company. History of Chinese Currency-pg. 7, #1; Hartill-5.1. 11.1 gms. Inscribed "Ying Yuan". Made in what is now Hubei province, it was cut from larger bars which allowed for the making of small denominations. An excellent example of this early gold issue, handsomely toned with underlying brightness, possibly the result of a high-quality alloy for the time period.
