<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Flamandets, post: 2961835, member: 92292&quot;][USER=86726]@mrbreeze[/USER] </p><p>To my conviction, Poem Coins ARE normal production coins, as it is only the people&#039;s superstition that made them poem coins. The only conditions they should respond to are: 1- they have to be &quot;Kang Xi&quot; coins and 2 - they have to be minted in one of the mints mentioned on gxseries&#039; nice presentation. So, Poem Coins can never have the common Manchu &quot;Boo&quot; on them.</p><p>Pay attention, even in Kang Xi&#039;s later years of reign, they already were &quot;counterfeited&quot; especially for collectors, as they still are today.</p><p>On the www. you get the complete series offered for 200 USD., only they are all of the same colour and size and have all the same plane traces! Seeing that, you should know what you have in front of you!</p><p>@ NormW and mbreeze</p><p>Very valuable information on Poem Coins, you can find at: Chinese Numismatics in Research - K&#039;ang Hsi T&#039;ung Pao Cash. <a href="http://ykleungn.tripod.com/kanghsia.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ykleungn.tripod.com/kanghsia.htm" rel="nofollow">http://ykleungn.tripod.com/kanghsia.htm</a></p><p>They &#039;ll tell you there: a Tai, good looking and of the same size as the other Poem Coins was made later, especially for collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Further with this information about Chinese coins, there is always the confusing question of the transscription. Personally I have chosen to stay by the &quot;Hanyu Pinyin&quot; of Zhou Youguang, who changed Peking into Beijing. This transscription gives the Poem as:&nbsp; </p><p>TONG&nbsp; FU&nbsp; LIN&nbsp; DONG&nbsp; JIANG</p><p>XUAN&nbsp; YUAN&nbsp; SU&nbsp; JI&nbsp; CHANG</p><p>NAN&nbsp; HE&nbsp; NING&nbsp; GUANG&nbsp; ZHE</p><p>TAI&nbsp; GUI&nbsp; SHAN&nbsp; YUN&nbsp; ZHANG[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
