Description

不明,无锡考古爱好者陈万康日前接到电话,对方称在锡山遗址西端出土一团古币。现已证实,这是10枚楚国"殊布当釿"大布币。市考古所刘所长表示:而如此成批量地出土楚布币,在无锡尚属首次。10枚楚币均为大面值钱币。陈万康将这些布币买回家后,立即用清水浸泡了一小时,在清理掉结垢渣土后,他发现这10枚楚国布币,仅一枚边缘处有残缺,其它九枚均完好无损,品相完美。2012年发现。

Context unknown. Wuxi archaeology enthusiast Chen Wankang recently received a call reporting that a clump of ancient coins had been unearthed at the west end of the Xishan site. This has now been confirmed as 10 large Chu "Shu Bu Dang Jin" spade coins. Director Liu of the municipal archaeology institute noted that a batch find of Chu spade coins on this scale is a first for Wuxi; all 10 pieces are high-denomination coins. After buying the coins from the finder, Chen soaked them in clean water for an hour; once the encrusted grime was cleaned off, he found that only one of the 10 pieces had a chipped edge, with the other nine intact and in excellent condition. Discovered in 2012.
