    Ban liang, H 7.16, 3.91g, 27mm.
    Wu zhu, H 8.10 (half moon below inner rim), 3.87g, 25mm.

    Enter me (well FFIVN) please!
    He is quite the fan of Chinese cash coins and picks them out of the world bins every time we go looking. Nothing he has in his current hoard is of any merit and he would love to have something truly ancient.

    Here is his current hoard that he asked me to take a picture of and share with everyone:

    I see at least one Japanese coin in there, and the rest look to be Ming period (ie. 120-350 years old)

    Yeah the one with the arches(?) in the reverse is Japanese. He got that at the Baltimore show a couple weeks ago. Like you said, the rest are relatively young compared to the ones you posted.
