[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 4528236, member: 41219"]So, resurecting a dead thread...FFIVN and I worked on the other coins that were discussed in the first post but the 'Rona Life got the better of us and we didn't post them. It is amazing how much "free time" I have had lately but have had no time to do anything. Anyone else have that problem? Anyways without further ado; today's history lesson: First up: Huangsong Tongbao Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Rhen Zong 1039-1054AD Hartil 16.95 [ATTACH=full]1121582[/ATTACH] Since we learned about Emperor Rhen Zong previously, we decided to take a further look at super nova SN 1054 that was observed during his reign.
