It's the same ruler and time period as for your cash number 3: the Xiang Fu era of the Song dynasty emperor Zhen Zong. The difference between the two coins is the character at the bottom (6 o'clock position). This coin has "yuan" (unit of currency) while #3 has "tong" (currency). These two characters could be used interchangeably; some emperors chose one or the other, some used both at the same time. The scripts used on the two coins is also slightly different; this one is a much more casually drawn script.
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

I am quite confused with the characters that I have come in the open again to ask for help. I was able to place the identified in my album of old Chinese coins. Sir, what you did is a MAGNUM OPUS to me. Thank you so much.
