Coins and Currency in the Yuan Dynasty: Art, Commerce, and State Power

The Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368), established from the vast and multicultural Mongol Empire, required an efficient monetary system to govern its extensive territory. Currency served not only as a medium of exchange but also as a reflection of art, culture, and state authority. This article analyzes the currency of the Yuan Dynasty through three main dimensions: artistic design, economic and commercial systems, and the role of the state in legitimizing power through monetary instruments.

Abstract

The Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368), established from the vast and multicultural Mongol Empire, required an efficient monetary system to govern its extensive territory. Currency served not only as a medium of exchange but also as a reflection of art, culture, and state authority. This article analyzes the currency of the Yuan Dynasty through three main dimensions: artistic design, economic and commercial systems, and the role of the state in legitimizing power through monetary instruments.
