Summary
| Description |
English: Genghis Khan.
Pre-Yuan Mongol Dynasty. Da Chao Tong Bao 大朝通寶。Silver. Reverse 2 chop marks of chinese and Arabic origin. Hartill 19.1. Rating 1. The Da Chao or Grand Dynasty was a name used by the Mongols prior to the establishment of the Yuan after the conquest of China. This coin was alleged to be minted either by Genghis Khan himself, Mongke Khan or by Kublai Khan before issuing the first official Zhi Yuan coins during the Yuan Dynasty. Conventional Chinese numismatic sources attribute this coin to Genghis KHAN himself as it was him who referred to his khanate as the Grand Dynasty. It was also in tribute to his role model the founder of the Liao Dynasty Yelu Abaoji whom was widely revered by the Northern tribes as a sort of divine hero. Whilst Abaoji referred to his reign as 天朝 or Heavenly Dynasty, Genghis Khan removed the top stroke into 大 as a form of respect. |
