elizabethann Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Good morning everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew a good resource for translating the characters on Chinese coins. I know I could probably just post pics on here and someone would be able to help me out, but I don't have a digital camera or scanner, so that is not an option. Anyone know of any good books or websites that could help? Thanks bunches! Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Two very nice sites. Thanks for the helpful info. I usually just wing it and look through Krause or ask one of the guys at the Coin Club who spent a lot of time in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I've found this one to be very useful: http://www.sportstune.com/chinese/index.html It has a lot, but there was, of course, the odd one out that stumped me a few weeks ago - happened to be ancient Korean instead of Chinese. They used the same Kanji images for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
