Strange copper objects found in western Manchuria and procured by the writer from an itinerant dealer in refuse-copper. These are exaggerated likenesses of spade-cash, but are not described in any works on coins. They are marked Chung Shan (中山). No. 16 has Er (二, two) with the characters Chung Shan inverted. Note also the duplicated lines of the inscription. Chungshan was an ancient State in western Chihli, bordering on Manchuria. These may be clumsy imitations of the old Chinese coinage, cast by the half-civilized tribes on the border. They are undoubtedly very ancient.
