    I found another Xia-Dynasty coin in my "collection". Strangely, this one is dated to 1362-66

    Da Shun Tong Bao
    Ming Yuzhan in the area of Sichuan
    Weight: 5.54g (22.5mm)

    Heavy green and grey encrustations, blank reverse

    Does this coin even belong to the Western Xia, or is this another Xia dynasty?

    Hi.. This is a later Shu coin from the Ten Kingdoms period.. before the establishment of the Song Dynasty. Just after the fall of the Tang

    Ah ok, thanks a lot for correcting the attribution. So the coin dates to the 10th century rather than the 14th. It probably switched envelopes at some point. I have a couple of coins described as later Zhou. I'll place the coin with this group.
