Earlier, I briefly talked about the situation of coin minting in the Five Dynasties. Today I will talk about the situation of coin minting in the ten countries. Of course, the situation of coin minting in the ten countries is slightly more complicated than that of the five generations. So I will briefly summarize the history of coinage in the ten countries Explain one by one.
The Ten Kingdoms occupies a wider area than the Five Dynasties, the population is larger, and the economic conditions are better than those of the Five Dynasties in the north. Here you can see that the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms have a lot of time overlap. The Five Dynasties are mainly in the north. The ten countries are biased towards the south. As I said before, the economy of the south was obviously better than that of the north, so the north mainly relied on the economy of the south.
Speaking of the coins minted in the ten countries are very complicated. Among them, the currency system of Nantang is relatively stable, Liang Shu barely protects himself, and Chu uses material money to enrich its national strength. We have also mentioned this before, Minyan and Nanhan Currency is the most messy, and we will talk about the coinage history of these two dynasties in the follow-up.
The country of Yan used miscellaneous coins to search for money. Wu Yue and Bei Han also minted coins, but relatively few. There is no record of minting coins in the Nanping Gao family. In fact, when it comes to the ten countries, there are many types of minted coins. It is complicated and complicated, but there are regulations to follow when researched, and many of the coins in it are the reputation items we mentioned earlier.
