He was the nephew of Empress Wang \u738b (71 B.C.\u2013A.D. 13, widow of Emperor Hanyuan \u6f22\u5143 (75\u201333 B.C.)), and was appointed regent to the barely two-year-old Emperor Ruzi \u5b7a\u5b50 (5\u201325) in year 7. In year 9, he ascended the throne, founding the short-lived Xin \u65b0 Dynasty (9\u201323). While some see him as a great visionary and reformer who took land away from large landowners and influential families, nationalised it, and distributed it to peasants, others characterise him primarily as a usurper and autocrat. During his short reign, however, he carried out a series of far-reaching and highly ambitious social, political, and economic reforms, including monetary ones. He revived several coin designs from the Warring States Period (475\u2013221 B.C.). His most famous coins are shaped like a shovel (<em>bubi<\/em> \u5e03\u5e63) and a knife (<em>daobi<\/em> \u5200\u5e63), more reminiscent of a key. The <em>wuzhu<\/em> \u4e94\u9296 coin (five <em>zhu<\/em> \u9296 or 3.25 grams) from the previous Qin (221\u2013206 B.C.) and the Western Han dynasties remained in use as the basic monetary unit. However, to completely sever the link with the Han Dynasty, in year 14 Wang Mang issued <em>huoquan<\/em> \u8ca8\u6cc9 coins like the one shown in the photo. <em>Huoquan<\/em> means &#8220;basic coin&#8221;, and its value was the same as the old <em>wuzhu<\/em> coin.
