In the early stage, Manchu people is living in east-north of China and living in a nomadic lifestyle. Till Nurhachi, he fights with other race and united the Manchu people finally and built the Manchu state outside the Shanhaiguan Pass in Year 1616. His resign was titled as Tian Ming (it means heavenly mandate) and was first Emperor of Qing Dynasty. In the Tian Ming period (1616~1627), Nurhachi has issue Tian Ming Tong Bao in Chinese (Please see the picture 1&2) and old-style Manchu characters (3&4) at the same time. Tian Ming Tong Bao with Manchu characters was read from left-right to top-bottom: “Abkai fulingga han jiha”. In the picture 5, I also show the Manchu characters of Tian Ming Tong Bao with duplicate words. Such kind of coins really are special and interesting. Don’t you think so?
