An image of a Chinese cash coin from the collection of Dr. Luke Shepherd Roberts from the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: I don't collect Chinese coins very assidously; mostly only when I see a coin that is very pretty to me. Somehow the Zheng He Tong Bao, minted in the Northern Song dynasty from 1111-1117 has many beautiful coins which have come my way. This coin is in the seal script. It is a one wen coin but I have made the image much bigger here. Why? Because it is the first mother coin (a coin used to cast circulating coins) I ever acquired. The fineness of the metal itself as well as the casting is something to behold.
