Blackhawk Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 This one is pretty large...about 47mm in diameter and appears to either be copper or maybe bronze - it's non-magnetic at any rate. I've had it for awhile and finally sat down to try and identify it. I matched the obverse up to Annamese coins from the reign of emperor Thanh Thai (1888-1907), but I can't make heads or tails (no pun intended) of the reverse. Could anyone read the characters on the reverse and venture a guess on what this is? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Not completely sure but I think the reverse says something like "the king worries/cares for his ministers/officials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
