From Primal Trek
"This coin is from the reign of Kublai Khan (Emperor Shi Zu) (1260-1294) of the Yuan Dynasty.
The inscription (je üen tung baw) is written in the Mongol script (Phags-pa). The equivalent Chinese inscription iszhi yuan tong bao (#33267;#20803;#36890;#23453;).
The size of the coin indicates that it has a value of "2 cash" which means it was equal to two regular cash coins.
These coins were cast during the years 1285-1294."
