Any Chinese fluent coin enthusiasts out there? Would you mind helping me ID this piece? What century? Thanks!
The coin is upside-down so please rotate it 180 degrees to be oriented correctly. The inscription reads li yong tong bao (利用通宝) and it is the "one dot tong" variety. The coin was issued during the years 1674-1678 by Wu Sangui. He was a "rebel" leader who ruled during a period at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Gary
Thank you very much Gary. Is it a common issue coin? Not worth slabbing? Here are the rotated pics. Have I got them right?
