Listed for sale are 2 pieces of vintage Chinese bamboo tally money/currency issued during late Qing dynasty and early ROC China era. Bamboo tallies or tokens had been used primarily in Eastern China as an alternative form of currency, starting 1870s, to supplement the shortage in currency amid the decline and final demise of Qing dynasty, and continued their use during the turbulent time under the Nationalist Party's rule, until 1940s. Due to the lack of regulatory standards, bamboo money or tokens were made by governmental and private entities, with many varieties in circulation, just like metal coins and paper currencies. These 2 bamboo tallies each has the denomination of 1 cent carved on the obverse, in traditional Chinese characters "太平壹分", which means "Peace Money One Cent". They measure approximately 3.5" to 3.8" long, and less than 0.5" wide. I don't have any other historical information. These bamboo tallies embody an interesting part of the fascinating Chinese history and culture, and can be a great addition to one's numismatic collection. Please examine the photos closely for further details, and feel free to ask me any questions. I ship within the United States only,  via USPS, with a tracking number provided.
