Hi, could this be a coin from Annam since it only features characters on one side and nothing on the other. Using an identify, I was able to come up with Sung - ninh - thong - bao, I am quite sure of the ninh thong bao but not the sung since none with sung cease to exist.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it :)

Actually, it's Chinese, from the Song Dynasty and the Chong Ning period of emperor Hui Zong (AD 1102-1106). The script is the very distinctive "slender gold" style, said to have been invented by the emperor himself. I assume this is an example of the larger 10-cash coin, rather than the smaller 1 cash, since for this period the larger ones are common. See examples on these zeno.ru pages.
