Qu Huang, one of the 8 great horses of the Zhou dynasty king Mu Wang - Dr. Luke Roberts 01.png
English:
"Here is another copper alloy Chinese charm which I like. I think of it as the prettiest coin I own. The legend states that the horse is a great horse from the classical past, Qu Huang, one of the 8 great horses of the Zhou dynasty king Mu Wang. The horse prancing on the reverse certainly is special. A very interesting thing about this charm which I do not understand is that the owner of the charm has filed indentations into the outside rim. Maybe it was decoration. Maybe to count.
31mm wide x 1.5mm thick"
