Experts have identified certain varieties and attributed them to certain specific time periods, but I'm far from expert. "Tang dynasty" is all that can be said for certain. 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

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 12/07/2007 9:49 pm No, these coins were issued with that same inscription for 300 years, so they're very common. Experts can tell, by looking at minute differences in the style of the lettering, exactly when within those 300 years the coin was made; I'm not that much of an expert. 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
