Obverse: Ch'ing Yuan T'ung Pao (Coinage of the Fortunate
Beginning) 1195-1201 a.d, Emperor Ning Tsung (1194-1224 a.d.), Southern Sung dynasty. Reverse: 11 characters Diameter: 65 mm Weight: 70 g It's not very old item but it's interesting to learn reverse inscription. I didn't saw charms with coin legend Ch'ing Yuan T'ung Pao.
By Gilbert Tan note (27-Apr-98) it is a fake of The Ching Yuan large cash, the only known piece which was owned by a Ching Dynasty collector. There is also an iron fake of this coin. |
