Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 08:33 am The Southern Sung followed the Northern Sung and ruled part of China from 1127-1279. From this dynasty come the oldest dated coins I have from China, but first: This coin reads from top clockwise and is a 2 Cash (by size and weight), it also has a crescent mark above the hole on the reverse. "Shao Hsing Yuan Pao" (1131-1162) from Kao Tsung (1127-1162) - Schjoeth#681+ / Mitchiner#3562 Now three dated coins from Emperor Li Tsung (1225-1264): The first reads clockwise like the one above, while the other two read in the standard fashion. Date number is on the back. "Ta Gung Vin Pao" (1225-1227) Year 1 (1225) - Schjoeth#959 / cf.Mitchiner#3587 "Shao Ting T'ung Pao" (1228-1233) Year 3 (1230) - Schjoeth#969 / cf.Mitchiner#3588 "Ching Ting Yuan Pao" (1260-1264) Year 1 (1260) - Schjoeth#1038 / cf.Mitchiner#3599 Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 08:56 am After the Yuan Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), since this is drifting into the 17 century, only one coin from the first emperor to show the 'lighter' style.

Are you sure you want to see all the other dozen of the Pei Sung coins or the more than 100 different ones I have from the Ch'ing (Manchu) dynasty? - But that would need a thread in the World Coins Forum. But I have another group of cash which fits into this forum - your guess what those are? Btw, most of my Chinese coins cost me less than a washer would have cost me Edited by Medieval 10/09/2014 09:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
