Summary[edit]

Description
English: Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the subsequent Ten States Five Kingdoms era (907-960 or so)

　 The Tang Dynasty's Kai Yuan Tong Bao set the basic pattern for all subsequent cash coins. Coins with this legend on the face were officially minted over a few centuries into the late Tang. Furthermore the legend was occasionally used by later rulers and private counterfeiters all over East Asia. The varietiesof this coin are endless. This coin is one of the early varieties the Kaiyuan Tongbao, where the top line of the bottome Yuan character is short. This is a particularly fine example belonging to Bill Dunkle who let me use the image. It is made of white copper which tends to rust bluish.
