After Wang Mang usurped power in the late Western Han Dynasty, coins were minted instead.

Xinmang currency has delicate inscriptions, exquisite craftsmanship, and multiple versions. The general Qian script is mainly composed of hanging needle seal script. This large yellow thousand cloth coin has a flat head, flat shoulders, and flat feet, with a slightly tapered waist. Drill a hole at the head for tying with a rope. Both sides of the front and back are cast as non piercing (i.e. there is no midline between the round piercing and the front end).

Changxin Palace Lantern of the Western Han Dynasty
The Changxin Palace Lantern of the Western Han Dynasty was unearthed in 1968 from the tomb of Dou Wan, wife of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng, in Mancheng County, Hebei Province.
