Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 5:38 pm e-‹å.ƒe€šå¯¶ Kai Yuan Tong Bao (The Inaugural Currency). 718 - 732 AD. This is the coin that was minted through most of the Tang Dynasty, which was about 300 years. According to what I've been reading, there was a lot of regulations concerning the minting of these coins. Including forbidding citizens from minting coins. Penalty was execution. Well, this is the very last coin I purchased. I am waiting for them to come in the mail next week sometime, hopefully. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 8:18 pm I eagerly await to see you next Chinese coins. This is such a vast series of coins, and to the untrained eye they all look similar across thousands of years. Neat background information. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 12:01 am Interesting! What I find amazing is how long the style of these coins persisted--almost 2000 years, right? That has to be a record. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 12:54 am Tang coins are fairly common and are usually well made. For a coin that is 1,300 years old, they can be had very cheaply. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 01:52 am Right on that. I did not pay too much for this coin and since the characters are well preserved and the coin is a decent cast, I got it. Report this Post to the Staff
