But since the issuing city of Yuan was conquered by Qin in 292 BC, its issuing must predate this. With its date range of 350-292, I’d consider it a 4th century BCE coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next: <b>Something to do with the number ‘73’</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
