Summary
[edit]DescriptionGenpō Tsūhō (元豊通寳) - Dr. Luke Roberts 08.png |
English: This coin was found in the Berantas river in Java and suggests the long range of trade. The front has some encrustations but almost no wear. The back is very rough. This may be due to deterioration or maybe poor casting. I thought the latter possibility strange given the quality of the front, but the similar coin below also has a poor back.
The variety is "Small top 'tsuu' rising 'hou' rising 'tsuu'." Small top tsuu refers to a large character coin where the top right portion of the tsuu character is vertically scrunched and not as wide as the "you" portion beneath it. In this the top of the "hou" character rises above the center hole, and the 'tsuu' seems to rear up like a horse into the hole as well. compare with the one below. 小頭通 昂寳昂通 A Japanese friend suggested the following detailed description of this coin. The translation is "Major category: large character small shell "hou", expansive character, small top "tsuu." Minor categories: rearing up tsuu, rising tsuu, rising "hou" rising tsuu. 大分類:大字小貝宝、肥字、小頭通 小分類:仰通、昂通 、昂宝昂通 |
