mold of Wu Zhu into Da Quan Wu Shi. The character of
Zhu is in convex

- Fr.Schjoth - coin not listed
- Peng Xin Wei [transl. by E.Kaplan] - The coin dealer Dai Baoting has said that small
Pan Liang
made of tutenag and washed with mercury have been excavated in large
quantities in the south, particulary in Shaoxing city, in all quarters of
the town, and in amounts of 1000 to 10000 at a time, mixed with Wu Zhu's and
bearing the label Pan Liang or Liang Pan in roughly equal numbers. Size and
weight are uniform. He insists that this Pan Liang are Six Dynasties
objects, possibly minted at the same time as Lord Shen Wu Zhu's. There are
also Da Quan Wu Zhu's and Huo
Quan's....
