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: This Zheng He Tong Bao has interesting calligraphy that is both dynamic and heavily stylized. The flat part of the coin is cast so thin that holes appeared in the manufacturing proces, and I feel I could poke through anywhere with a needle. Note the elegant points on the center square on the reverse side. Sunk under water in Java, this coin corroded badly at the rim but hardly at all on the faces.
