Context
These small lead pieces are imitating Kaiyuan Tongbao pieces from the Tang dynasty. These circulated widely, with the Chu authorities fixing the rate of 1 Lead Cash to 100 Bronze Cash. These were mostly restricted to circulating within towns, and were likely cast unofficially by merchants or the people.
