It was founded by the peasant rebel leader Liu Bang, known posthumously as Emperor Gaozu of Han. It was briefly interrupted by the Xin Dynasty (9-23 CE) of the former regent Wang Mang. This interregnum separates the Han into two periods: the Western Han (206 BCE9 CE) and Eastern Han (25-220 CE). Spanning over four centuries, the period of the Han Dynasty is considered a golden age in Chinese history. To this day, China's majority ethnic group refers to itself as the \"Han people\". This coin is unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NumisMallstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51179280335163,"sku":"x11659-60354","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0447\/1750\/6710\/files\/w60354.jpg?v=1776435522","url":"https:\/\/www.numismall.com\/products\/chicken-eye-jimu-wu-zhu-w-bar-above-hole-73-33-bc-w-han-china-g-f-14-7","provider":"NumisMall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
