Did you know that the concept of pawnbroking dates back to ancient China during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE)? Temples and wealthy individuals would lend money in exchange for personal items held as collateral, creating an early form of secured lending. This practice laid the foundation for modern pawn and collateral-based finance systems used today. The Medici family, known for being one of the first pawn brokers, in Italy took pawn lending to a new level in the medieval times.
