playing card
Rectangular playing card printed in black ink on paper of a bearded man and Chinese inscriptions of Sixty Thousand 'Guan' within a rectangular frame. 'Guan' is a currency unit in Ancient China, originally referring to a string used to tie 1,000 coins together. One 'guan' was equal to 1,000 coins, therefore sixty thousand 'guan' would be equal to 60 million coins.
