<p>[QUOTE=&quot;manymore, post: 1755819, member: 17118&quot;]It&#039;s a Korean coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The four-character inscription is 常平通寶 pronounced <i>sang pyong tong bo</i> in Korean.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Because of the poor quality of the images, however, I&#039;m having difficulty identifying the mint which is on the other side of the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please go to <a href="http://primaltrek.com/koreancoins.html#sang_pyong_tong_bo_mint_examples" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://primaltrek.com/koreancoins.html#sang_pyong_tong_bo_mint_examples" rel="nofollow">this web page</a> on my website.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Look at the side of your coin that has only two characters (&quot;b coin.jpg&quot;). Orient the coin so that the character that looks like &quot;十&quot; is at the bottom with the other character at the top.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please look at the image of the coins on the second row of the table. Now compare the character at the top of your coin with the second coin from the left on the second row.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe your coin was cast at the &quot;Court Guard Military Unit&quot;. Ignore the character on the bottom of the coin because it is different from your coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If the top character does not look the same then compare it to the first coin in the same row (&quot;Special Army Unit&quot;).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If neither looks correct then I will need a better image of that side of the coin to correctly identify the mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
