There are LOTS of varieties so unless you can translate the characters OR have a specialized catalog, ID'ing it specifically is is not possible. There are those around who can probably do it for you. Just have to wait until one shows up. Report this Post to the Staff
Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 12:44 pm Definitely a cash coin, the 'general currency' (right to left characters) confirms it for me, how I do not recognize the emperors name (the top to bottom characters). I'm not an expert so take this with a grain of salt, someone with more knowledge can probably give you more specific details.
