Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 05/17/2008 10:21 am All but one are Chinese, but only two of them are "doubles". Coin 1: Vietnam, Bao Dai, last emperor of Vietnam, cast phan (1926-1945) - one of the last cast cash-style coins to be made in the world. KM# 661. Coin 2: China, the Qian Long emperor (Ch'ien-Lung), 1735-1796 AD, Board of Revenue mint, Beijing (Peking). One of the commonest of all cash coins. Coin 3: same emperor as #2, Board of Works mint, Beijing (Peking). Coin 4 and 5: same as #2. Coin 6: China, the Kang Xi emperor (K'ang-hsi), 1662-1723 AD, Board of Revenue mint, Beijing (Peking). Later series, Manchu mintmark only. Coin 7: same emperor as #6, Shandong (Shantung) Province mintmark. Earlier series, with both Chinese and Manchu mintmarks. Coin 8: same emperor and series as number 6, but Board of Works mint. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 05/17/2008 8:51 pm My Chinese reference book is Krause Publication's "Chinese Cash" by David Jen, used in conjuction with the regular Krauses.
