Summary

Description
English: TARTAR DYNASTIES      1115 - 1280 AD    

The inscription of this cash coin reads clockwise as Da'an Yuanbao (大安元宝). The cash coin Inscription was cast during the years 1085-1093.

This is the "small an" or "short an" (duan an 短安) variety of the coin. The yuan (元) Chinese character on some "small an" cash coins has a "right shoulder" (右挑元) which is particularly rare.

There is also a "long an" (chang an 长安) variety in which the an character is bigger. "Long an" cash coins with a "two shoulder yuan" (双挑元) character are also very rare.

Some coins have a "crescent" / "moon" (月) or "dot" / "star" (星) on the reverse side but they are fairly scarce.

    H 18 . 21      LIAO: Qian Tong yuan bao     Cash Two specimens with identical? calligraphy. I am suspicious of #2 because Tong tilts with the rosette center rim while the other characters do not. What does this mean? Other than this, the two pieces are more similar than their images indicate because #2 has been cleaned (except the edge) and is less worn. The interior metal color is comparable as are shape and patination of edges. The pimpling on #2 can be laid to very little wear; note the flattened (worn) pimples on rev. of #1.     #1: 23.4mm, 3.561g; #2 23.7mm, 3.852g FD1629, S1073, HG826/2; Offering #1:     VF
