Thank You David
Hartill,
Yes! we have your book, A Guide To Cash Coins.
I did not find this coin in that book either. There are similar large coins 2.148 and 2.149, with the same script as 16.68 in your
Cast Chinese Coins. I could not find one that matches the script exactly, with the Thien in seal script. Joe prefers me to match scripts and etc. when researching these coins.
I did find the coin with this script in The Nguyên Hoà Era Coins of
Vietnam (1533-1548 AD), a paper posted by
Craig Greenbaum online.
I am so sorry I mis-identified you as the author of The Historical Cash Coins of Viet Nam in my original post; I was looking at your book when I wrote that and always think of your name when researching oriental coins.
Thanks for all you have done, researched and published. It has made my
work much less arduous.
Sincerely,
Kat
