I had said that the coin had a fabric of Song/Ming (looking again, I do not know why I said Ming), but it also has a Tang fabric. The use of reign titles on coins was not a normal practice until towards the later part of the Tang dynasty, so that is consistent. Perhaps this coin was a cheaply-made base-metal emergency coinage from right before the dynasty foundered? If so, it certainly would not be common at all. It&#039;s a possible theory, and considering that we have nothing better to go on other than it being a charm, it could be the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
