Kai Yuan
« on: April 16, 2010, 09:16:06 am »
Dear fellow collectors.
I can not find this Kai Yuan in any of my books. It is clearly a Kai Yuan with Xing on the reverse, but the mark on the left side- is strange.My first guess is some error in the casting, but on the other hand, there are always new types to find.

Warm regards  A.

it's first time I see it, probably a new variety it's quite usual in this coinage I have some in my own collection.

The right mint name is Xing, the god translation must be pinyin because it's the only egal reading authorized by the Popular Republic of China
