English: Sycees on Chinese numismatic charms symbolise Wealth, high rank, brightness, and purity. Silver became an official measurement of wealth during the Mongol Yuan dynasty, and sycees became closely associated with wealth. The first Hanzi character in the Mandarin Chinese word for sycees "yuanbao" (元寶, yuánbǎo) also means "first" which could be interpreted as being "first place in the imperial exams" and thus attaining a high rank. Sycees are a member of the Eight Treasures.
