Gold coins discovered in an aristocrat's tomb that dates back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD) are seen in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province, Nov. 17, 2015. Chinese archaeologists on Tuesday discovered 75 gold coins and hoof-shaped ingots in the tomb. The gold objects -- 25 gold hoofs and 50 very large gold coins -- are the largest single batch of gold items ever found in a Han Dynasty tomb. (Xinhua/Wan Xiang)
