The coinage of the Great Shu Kingdom (Traditional Chinese: 大蜀貨幣 / 大蜀起義軍鑄) is the earliest known coinage produced by a peasant revolt in the history of China, the revolt lasted from 993 until 995[1] and during this period a small number of cash coins were produced by the peasant rebellion using the era names of the rebel leader Li Shun.[2] It was only with the strongest military efforts that the Song dynasty was able to suppress the rebellion and restore their rule over the Shu region.[2] The coinage produced by the Da Shu Kingdom is often rather roughly produced and as the rebellion only lasted a few years not many cash coins were produced leading to them being extremely rare today.[2]
The first two inscriptions were produced for five months under King Li Shun while after his death the remaining rebels introduced a new inscription which was produced for a year until the rebellion was finally put down.[2]
