Category:Halberds on Chinese numismatic charms

English: Halberds (戟 /戟 / Jǐ) on Chinese numismatic charms symbolise "Good luck, success in exams". The Mandarin Chinese word for "halberd" (戟, jǐ) sounds like the Mandarin Chinese term for "lucky" or "auspicious" (吉, jí), and also sounds like the term for "rank" or "grade" (級, jí), which in this context refers to the rank of a government official.
