700 BC TO 255 BC This is a reference guide to the cast coins of China from the Zhou Dynasty, including knife and spade coins, not a listing of coins offered for sale (although a listing of examples we currently have available can be viewed on our Chinese Coin Sales Catalogue).
Wang believed that the heavy Ch'i knifes were the earliest coins, and may date to the 10th or 11th century BC but, as discussed later, we find little evidence for this.
Their general form and style of calligraphy tends to suggest this may be so, in which case they belong to the 4th century BC, and we would expect some of them (early issues) to be cast to a 12 shu standard, with possibly others (later issues) at a 10 shu standard.

Beginning with campaigns in 334 B.C., Alexander III of Macedonia embarked on a series of conquests that lasted a decade and resulted in an empire that stretched from Macedonia to Egypt and India.
Although his death in 324 was followed shortly thereafter by the splintering of his empire into smaller kingdoms ruled by his generals (such as the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt), Alexander's legacy was a spread of Hellenistic thinking into the Eastern world.
From 169-164 B.C., Ptolemy VI ruled as part of a triumvirate composed of himself, his sister/wife, and his younger brother, Ptolemy VIII Physcon.
