<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gil-galad, post: 1628174, member: 44154&quot;]Oh yeah, I know those Ban Liang coins were minted for a long time. During the Zhou period, through the Qin and then Western Han Dynasty. Based on what I was reading online, because I don&#039;t have any books I figured out the attribution for this coin, here is a copy and paste from my photo gallery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Western Han Ban Liang Cash Coin 半兩 - 2nd - 1st century BC</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;OBV: 半兩 Ban Liang</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;REV: Blank</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;REF: None at present.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Chinese coins during this period are difficult to attribute to any particular time. Ban Liang coins are also a generic coinage that was issued for a few hundred years. Starting as large and heavy coins, they diminished in weight and diameter. This particular coin could be the later period of the Ban Liang coins. This coin has no rims and has a diameter of 24mm which is consistent with the later period coins. Going by weight doesn&#039;t help when attributing these coins as the weight is variable even amongst coins with the same diameter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
