(The software on this forum does not print certain Chinese characters.) The inscription on the reverse side (top) is è¡¢å·žå—å®—å"æ°å®¶åº™ which translates as the Nanzong Confucian (Kong Family) Temple in Quzhou. The inscription at the bottom is å—äº¬e€ å¸åŽ‚åˆ¶ which translates as "Made at the Nanjing Mint". You can read more about the Nanzong Confucian Temple here. The Chinese books are the è«-èªž known as the Analects written by Confucius. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
