Title: Real Hong Wu Tong Bao? [SOLVED]
Post by: Pericles J2 on June 16, 2018, 11:54:17 am

Hello guys, I just received this coin also, but I didn't find a single Hong Wu Tong Bao(Ming dinasty) with a blank Reverse. Can you guys give me some help to confirm its authenticity?

Thank you very much

Looks like Emperor Tai Zu (1368-98). Hartill 20.74. Yes, the reverse is plain.
