Ok, probably not the coin you have Oz, but here goes  I guess ancient China 1 cash (14-23)AD Wang Mang, fifth reform, N#7318  (too many varieties on that coin) If not that one, I see several more likely candidates that I will leave others to guess... China (ancient), Standard circulation coin, Gregorian date: 1-40AD, Non precious... Something like that...  I know, I'm assuming a few things and taking some risk here...

Well, I'm certainly surprised at guessing close enough  Neat rock of a Chinese coin Oz, was just looking at all the clues this round and wondered if it was Asian... Hence my guess  Keith's "last question" was interesting probably since many of these questions took too long to get solutions going, then one more could have been asked...

Well done Mrit. Nice old coin Oz. Now you can get back to working out what that other one is.
