Qian Feng Quan Bao
Ruler: Gao Zong (649-683 AD)
Qian Feng Quan Bao. In an attempt to overcome a shortage of copper, one of the Qian Feng coins was to be equivalent to ten old coins, although its weight of 2.4 zhu was the same as a one cash coin. This led to extensive forgery, and the coin was withdrawn after a year.
