Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 640 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 3:48 pm Thank you for the suggestion. They do have an excellent large section on identifying Chinese coins, and I looked through it, but still haven't been able to match this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 640 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 4:28 pm Thank you both for your help. You inspired me to do some more searching on Zeno and I had to keep broadening the weight limits. Finally found a match at https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=147047 Southern Song, Qian-dao (1165-1173) AE 2 wen, seal style I'm going to call this one IDENTIFIED. Thanks again for your support with this. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 6:12 pm Not so common as the Ch'ing Dynasty cash coins that are seemingly ubiquitous. May I ask where a specimen such as this turned up? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 640 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 7:07 pm Yes, I'm happy to be able to identify it, and that it's an unusual coin, in nice condition. To me it's quite interesting to imagine the times and places and people who used the coins. I'm sorry, I can't be very sure where it came from. A few years ago I was an active member of the Albuquerque Coin Club and purchased a couple of very small collections, as well as some odds & ends including unattributed Chinese cash coins at the semiannual coin shows, so it most likely comes from one of those sources.
