[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 3912238, member: 102103"]I think the Vietnam attribution looks pretty good. I can't tell any difference between the characters and standard (not simplified) Chinese. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_cash']Here's[/URL] a list of the inscriptions on Vietnamese cash-type coins. I'm pretty sure I can make out "通寶" horizontally (right to left), which is also common on Chinese coins. I think it's 通宝 in simplified Chinese. The "景興" doesn't match any Chinese emperors I know of. It would be Jing Xing in Mandarin and, who was the grandfather of the wife of Sima Zhao. Anyway, I think the resemblance to a historical Chinese figure from around 200 AD is a coincidence, as he was not an emperor and wouldn't have appeared on coins.[/QUOTE]
