Chinese military pay bars
Hello Steemit family, welcome back to my page. On this post I want to share a couple new Chinese military pay bars. The Chinese government used these to pay their soldiers in the early 600s A.D.
So far I've only been able to find a 1oz and a 2oz. I'm always looking to add more so if anyone has some or know someone e with some, please let me know. I would eventually like to have all of the different varieties. Thank you for checking g out my post and I hope to see you back again. Take care, msagan75

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
Why would anyone deface such beautiful bars stamping arabic numbers on them?

What a cool piece of history! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info, saw something on discord and then couldn't find it again
Wicked cool man! Are you looking for old chinese silver bars in general or just specific ones?
These are very awesome bars! I've never seen such a thing before... And now I need one! Why are there our numbers on them though?
Edit, what Ron said...
This is a great bar! Nice addition. I follow you on IG as well. This is collectbulliondotcom 👍. Keep up the good work you have my support.
I've seen these bars, and aren't they so cool! And I love the one with the dragon! Thanks for showing them. I enjoyed looking at the photos!
Those are super tight man!
I'd expect to see chop marks on these rare bars, nice find.
Those are cool. 👍🏻
From what I've been able to find is the first row is rank and number, second row is purity, and the third row is weight.
