This chapter concentrates on Chinese and Japanese currencies that were used in “international maritime trade” in (South-)East Asia. It focuses on copper, silver and paper money and also briefly discusses gold, which played a less important role as an international currency in the East Asian Mediterranean than it did in Europe.
