Experts, below are pictures of a coin I picked up here in Korea. It is a Chinese coin that was found in a huge Sang Pyeong Tong Bo lot.

I am no expert in Chinese, but the best I could make out of it is "Yuan Dao Tong Bao". I was hoping if someone could confirm and tell me about it. I have shot the coin with different light positions to help. There is no back to the coin, but I have a photo anyway. Thanks in advance for the help~ xie xie~

@Lembafc, attribution of this coin is a little outside my comfort zone, but if this is really from the 11th Century AD, then I suggest that you ask the mods to move this thread over to the ancient/medieval section. There are a couple folks who frequent that region of CCF who may be able to shed some light on your coin.

Seuk, awesome! I found it! Thank a million. It the Yuan Feng Tong Bao. I was reading the characters TBLR instead of TRBL, but not it makes sense.

Thanks so much for the help. I can finally put her in my book.
