vanursepaul Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 This is the best Chinese coin/charm?... I have ever found. I found it with the MGR in an old park near Redding on the trinity river. The obverse side is clear but the reverse is almost smooth. Any guesses, I looked online but couldn't find a coin that had all 4 markings on the same coin....maybe Wu-Shu dynasty...or a later copy? Help :-) Pictures are for Merton.....lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brogansown Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Paul, According to my book, the coin is from Emperor Ch'ang P'ing Wu Chu from the Northern Ch'i Dynasty (550-589 a. d.). The markings are very nearly identical to your coin. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanursepaul Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Wow, that would definitely be the oldest coin for me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't hardly believe it would be laying in the park like that--- not even in the dirt--it was 2 inches deep in the sand under a picnic table---- had a weird signal--not like i was used to hearing, but thanks go to Steve for making me dig all foils etc!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
