The coins of the Five Emperors are divided into the "Big Five Emperors" and the "Little Five Emperors". What is being auctioned this time is the Big Five Emperors, that is, the half-liang coin of the Qin Dynasty, the five-baht coin of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, the Song-Yuan Tongbao of the Song Dynasty, and the Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty. There are five kinds of coins, because these five kinds of coins were cast by the famous kings of the ancient Chinese dynasties. They have the three kinds of righteousness of "heaven, earth, and people", so they can attract wealth and good fortune, and exorcise evil spirits.

The two complement each other. Its effect and preciousness far exceed the common copper coins and Five Emperors' coins.
And red Hetian jade alone is a rare treasure, not to mention that it was cast into coins that match the age and the five elements, and they are still preserved to this day. Moreover, the appearance is also very well preserved, and the color of the jade has not changed due to the Too much luster has been lost due to the problems of the times, which is something that can only be encountered but not sought after.
