coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 04:31 am I cannot tell the ruler's name from these photos- the left one shows the name. It has the actual bottom of the coin at the left, and the top character is indistinct, but unusual enough that I don't think it is Tao. The bottom is Kuang. The other side, (again, bottom is at left) shows the mint to be the Board of Revenue (Beijing). If you could send in another picture, sharper, I could probably help you. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16867 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 05:17 am I'm afraid I'm not sure about it either. Either the pic is too poor or the coin is poorly cast, but I can't get a clear reading. The closest match I can find are the Xiang Fu coins of the Song Dynasty, but coins from that period shouldn't have Manchu script on the back, or have such wide rims. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5838 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 10:41 am Possibly a cast copy that was used for decoration like a money sword. If it is a real coin, will need a better photo, the pictures now need to be turn 90 degree counter clockwise to read it properly. SAP: Thanks for the link, and Happy Birthday!
