[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 4528297, member: 41219"]Our last Chinese cash coin comes from the Tang Dynasty. We weren't able to figure out how to narrow it down to a more defined date so this is what we have as our identification. We would be happy to hear from anyone who may know how further identify it: Kaiyuan Tongbao Tang Dynasty 621-907 AD Hartil 14.1 [ATTACH=full]1121597[/ATTACH] The Tang Dynasty was pretty long and since we couldn't narrow this coin down further we just read about the dynasty in general. In addition to history, FFIVN is also really interested in science and inventing. We honed in on the scientific achievements of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty brought about an astronomical clock that through a series of water wheels and gears would ring a bell every hour and bang a drum every quarter hour. They also invented woodblock printing which made the written word much more accessible to the general public! The last thing we read about was Chinese air conditioning! in 747 AD, Emperor Xuanzong had a "Cool Hall" created in the imperial palace. This hall was cooled by water-powered fan wheels and jets of water spray from fountains. Pretty....wait for it...Cool! :cool: All these cash coins are ex [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] who has been amazing at helping to foster FFIVN's love of ancient coins and history. Many thanks! We still have 2 ex [USER=99554]@Ocatarinetabellatchitchix[/USER] coins to post. But I think we will wait til tomorrow to post them. Let everyone digest all this amazing information and perhaps read up on something that piqued your interest.[/QUOTE]
