elliott378 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 3:36 pm I need a little help with identifying a character on a Chinese cash. I can't find the character at the 12:00 position in the Calgary information. I believe the 3:00 position is "YU", the 6:00 position is "YUAN", and of course the 9:00 is "PAO" or "BAO". What is the best reference guide for identifying all of the Chinese cash coins? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Some may suggest Hartill. However, after more searching, I did find similar coins in Hartill under Northern Song Dynasty. I only suggested Viet Nam earlier due to some quickly found similarities. Northern Song Dynasty may have a stronger similarity. Edited by Albert 08/03/2018 8:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hartill 16.87 looks like a logical choice after comparing a few others I was unsure about. Report this Post to the Staff
