Emperor KAO TSUNG
AD 1736-1795


reign title: CH'IEN-LUNG, AD 1736-1795

Ch'ien-lung is thought of as one of the most brilliant rulers in Chinese history. He was a patron of the arts, which reached a very high level during his reign. His is also one of the few Chinese emperors to abdicate the throne, which he did to honor K'ang Hsi (his father) by ending his reign just before it would have exceeded the length of K'ang Hsi's reign.

BOO CIOWAN" (Board of Revenue mint in Bejing). The Manchu mint name translates to Pao-Ch'uan, or "The Fountain head of the Currency".
