Amost 5,000 ancient coins from the Tang and Song dynasties were discovered in Shexian County, Anhui province on Sept. 24. The coins, about 30 kilograms in weight, were found by workers in the process of constructing a road. The local cultural relics bureau has since explored the surrounding areas, but no other artifacts have been found. Further identification work will be carried out on the unearthed coins. (Photo/IC)
