Ming dynasty coinage information


宣德通寶, 永樂通寶, and 洪武通寶 coins.

Chinese coinage in the Ming dynasty saw the production of many types of coins. During the Ming dynasty of China, the national economy was developed and its techniques of producing coinage were advanced.

The Ming dynasty cast comparatively few coins when compared with earlier dynasties in Chinese history, and the cash coins they did produce were not regarded to be as beautifully made as in earlier times.[1] The majority of cash coins in circulation at the time of the Ming were actually Tang and Song dynasty era cash coins.[1] This all indicates that the emperors of the Ming dynasty did not regard coins with the same importance as those who ruled before them.[1]
