TIGER TALLY Of Qin Yangling is named after its resemblance to a tiger, and was a token used by ancient emperors to grant military authority to their subordinates and to deploy their troops.
The set is marked with weight, purity, year, country and denomination on the inside of the left and right talismans.
The back of the Qin Yangling Tiger Talisman is minted with the inscription "The right side of the talisman is in the emperor and the left side is in Yangling".
This means that the right half of the talisman was kept at the emperor's place, while the left half was kept at the general's place at Yangling.
The "talisman" is a kind of token commonly used in ancient China, which is generally divided into two halves, and when the two halves are combined, it can be used as a proof of making and keeping a contract for a certain kind of affairs.
