Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 4:37 pm These (and the others from your threads) are most likely Song dynasty coins. I'm painfully inefficient at identifying them (illiterate in Chinese, as it were) but this is my go-to: http://www.calgarycoin.com/referenc...a5.htm#north sung He's got images of almost all Song dynasty coins in there. Note that the Japanese, Vietnamese, and Koreans all made copies of Song coins. Pretty sure none are Japanese bita sen or trade coins, at least. Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/03/2017 12:37 pm I am still not good at these, but I agree with them being from the (Northern) Song dynasty. 1) Maybe a Shao-Sheng one, made from 1094 to 1097 (click here, type CtrlF, then type in S-597 (or just scroll))? 2) Maybe a Chai-Yu one, made from 1056 to 1063 (the example on Numista looks closer than the one on the link above, so click here)?
