[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 2461706, member: 16729"]Okay. I got the character on the right. In Korean, they say "kang". [ATTACH=full]516233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]516234[/ATTACH] It means "mountain ridge" according to this Korean Chinese-character translation page. Other translation sites from China say that it's "Post, position". I think "mountain ridge" is correct. I am trying to find the other one. Don't expect me to find it! I've tried this before with these old, arcane Chinese Characters on coins Dang, why couldn't the Chinese have gone with a graphophonemic system of writing (characters = sounds) instead of this maddening ideographic character alphabet of which there are [B]thousands[/B]!!????[/QUOTE]
