The listing, Really old chinese coin. L@@K has ended.
this is a coin from either the Tang dynasty or chi'ing dynasty. both ages are pretty old 1500ad-1700ad. so this coin falls into that gap. i found a couple while walking the great wall a few years ago.
this a trial run. i got a couple more if this goes well. the aging decay on them looks cool. they look like they had been in saltwater looking at the color. which would be odd seeing i found them literally wedged in a big crack from the wall, not far from Beijing. a few others i found are newer. couple with rabbits, couple with scorpions.
all i really can find on it, is online. ill have to look for it but ill print if you like. the history of the coins pretty cool. enough to where i read futher after finding what the coin was. the Emperor, Hui Zong really had no political agenda or any real knowledge of it .therefore appointing others to run the kingdom, which were extremely corrupt. did i mention he taxed the crap out of his people. he was renouned for his art, poetry and calligraphy. which doesnt run a kingdom, therefore making it a pretty dark age. on the brighter note he did design his own font type consisting of sharpe, sleak strikes.
