China - Ancient，WARRING STATES: Anonymous, 350-250 BC, AE spade money (8.07g), H-3.483, round foot spade type, small size, archaic lin obverse, light encrustation, a superb example! VF-EF, RRR. This type is represented by the coins of five cities in present-day Shanxi, between the Fen and Yellow River. There are two sizes, the equivalent of the one jin and half jin denominations. They have various numerals on their reverses. One school of thought ascribes them to the states of Qin and Zhao at the end of the Warring States period; another to the State of Zhongshan during the 4th century BC.
