manymore Valued Member United States 347 Posts	Posted 12/09/2013 10:39 pm It's a Chinese "temple coin" or "offering coin". The characters at the top and bottom (zhi da è‡³å¤§) refer to coins (è‡³å¤§e€šå® and è‡³å¤§å.ƒå®) cast during the years 1310-1311 by Emperor Wu Zong of the Yuan Dynasty. The characters to the right and left (geng shen åºš- "- ) specify a year according to the traditional Chinese calendar. (Unfortunately, the software on this website does not display certain Chinese characters.) Another specimen of the temple coin may be seen at this Chinese website. I am not familiar with this particular temple coin and am unable to provide any additional information. Gary Edited by manymore 12/10/2013 06:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
Rmassey210 Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 12/10/2013 09:01 am Gary, Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this coin. That's very interesting as I knew of charms but had never heard of a temple coin. Rob Report this Post to the Staff
