Tiance Fubao was a coin minted by Ma Yin of the State of Chu during Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the first year of Qianhua (AD 911). Ma Yin was appointed as the Tian Ce Fu General and built the Tiance Mansion. This coin was minted in memory of this event. Tiance Fubao was made in two types, copper and iron coins. Among them, the gilded copper is the most precious and is counted by pieces.
