Comments
(en) These are known as mobianqians (磨辺銭), meaning "filed-edged coins".
This type of Huo Quan is believed to be privately modified official coins, which had the outsides filed in order to illicitly obtain some metal and make a profit, or to lighten the official coins to bring them in-line with the new and lighter weight of the inflationary Huo Quans. The exact dating of these pieces is uncertain, but they are thought to have been produced toward the end of Wang Mang's reign, or sometime afterwards.
