PERIODICAL: CHINA NUMISMATICS 2017.1
China Numismatics is published bimonthly by the China Numismatic Museum and China Numismatic Society in Beijing. The journal is published in Chinese. Helen Wang, Curator of East Asian Money at the British Museum, published an English summary of the latest issue in her Chinese Money Matters blog.
