The following is a better article in the news media that typically seen on Coinage, specifically the former/earlier silver coinage of China. Good/interesting photos too:

    So silver was bigger than gold back in the day. Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Peace Roy

    Great read. Most of us know the story. But it's cool to think of how the Chinese economy was built upon Potosi.
