Coopertron5000 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 516 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 5:20 pm I believe #2 is Northern Song Dynasty 1 cash - CHIH-TAO (995-998) Mixed scripts - top and bottom in grass script, left and right in orthodox script CHIH-TAO YUAN-PAO Edited by Coopertron5000 08/02/2017 5:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
svnhson Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 6:26 pm It's hard to tell with number one, but it appears to date to the reign of Emperor Renzong (1022-1063) and to be in seal script. Here is a coin somewhat similar: http://www.numismall.com/acc/1039-1...w387261.html Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5253 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 6:52 pm Thanks! #2 is a good match to my catalogue, but I can't find a convincing illustration for #1 yet. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/03/2017 12:46 pm Maybe the first one is the Seal script version of the second one you posted here? The closest example I could find is on this link, though the left character on your coin looks rounder... Edited by Joseph7420 08/03/2017 12:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 08/04/2017 01:12 am Your #2 is attributed correctly above as S-467 Chi Tao Yuan Bao from 995-998 AD. Number 1 is quite difficult, but the top character is definately "Huang". Considering there aren't many coins other than the Huang Song Tong Bao and the different varients of those characters, I'd say its likely a Northern Song Dynasty cash coin.
