<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2842541, member: 4373&quot;]Was tidying up my collection and this is one set that I got a few years back. I did show it once before but wanted to do a formal digital coin album set.</p><p><br /></p><p>A brief summary of the Chinese poem coins is that the coins were cast around 1660 - 1680s by 20 different mints in different provinces. The coins were rearranged to form poetry. As far as I understand, there does not seem to be any meaning to it but may be rearranged by phonetic.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1022310.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The way I have designed is that I wanted to include both the pinyin and English pronunciation as well as traditional and simplified Chinese characters. It kinda looks cluttered but to put so much information in - it was not straight forward. As of why I wanted to do so, I honestly struggled to read different references with different annotations. Therefore this has to be done.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Enough said and enjoy the view!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://gxseries.com/ct/poem1_small.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gxseries.com/ct/poem1_small.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://gxseries.com/ct/poem1_small.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://gxseries.com/ct/poem2_small.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gxseries.com/ct/poem2_small.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://gxseries.com/ct/poem2_small.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to post your pictures as well. <img src="http://www.coinpeople.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
