Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Coins with this inscription were first minted in 1400. However, based on the calligraphy, your coin is from a later period. I do not believe there is a consensus as to exactly when this coin was minted. Another specimen of the coin may be seen at this website. #2: This coin is from the Southern Song Dynasty (China). The inscription is chun you yuan bao (æ·³ä½'å.ƒå¯¶). It is a "2 cash" coin. These coins were minted during the period 1241-1252. If you look at the reverse side, you should see a Chinese number which can date the coin to a specific year. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
