<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7940565, member: 19463&quot;]This is a Kai Yuan (Hartill 14) Tang Dynasty as Andres2 said but yours is a different minor variation (there are many) of which I am no student.&nbsp; Your reverse image needs to be rotated 1/4 turn counterclockwise placing the &#039;nail mark&#039; (Hartill reverse variety e, page 106) at the bottom.&nbsp; Your coin also differs from his in the Yuan (bottom character).&nbsp; His has the raised left shoulder while yours strikes me as more &#039;running&#039;.&nbsp; I only have the plain Hartill 14.1 and know nothing about the fine points of ID. They were made in several mints over a period of almost 300 years.&nbsp; We expect many variations.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiyuan_Tongbao" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiyuan_Tongbao" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiyuan_Tongbao</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1374341[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
