Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 3:43 pm I know nothing of Chinese coins, but this looks like a nice one. Great patina and condition. Why do they all it cash. What is Zheng He Tong Bao? Report this Post to the Staff
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 4:05 pm Thanks for your response, Doucet! "Zheng He" refers to the 'period title' or 'regnal period' of the Emperor under whom the coin was cast. "Tong Bao" means 'circulating currency'. Simply put, 'cash' coins were money in the same manner in which we use dollars and cents. Report this Post to the Staff
