摘要
Ban Liang coin is the representative of the unification of the monetary system in ancient China. But there are very few previous studies on the technical features and raw material sources of them. In this paper, seventeen Bang Liang coins from Chengdu City, Sichuan Province were analyzed by OM, SEM-EDS and MC-ICP-MS methods. The result shows quite stable alloy ratios which indicate the unique technical characteristics of the Qin state. Besides, the source of lead materials is different from the previous situation. The coinage system was likely a resource allocated by the central government to various localities for further minting.
