I'd love it to be a genuine medieval import, but there are more probable alternatives. Perhaps @HelenWangLondon can say whether it is an original Song coin or a later Japanese or Vietnamese copy?
Enjoyed your post @caitlinrgreen (thank you!) - but it's more likely a later deposit. From the photos it looks Song dynasty to me. I've posted it on https://www.facebook.com/OrientalNumismaticSociety/ … to field more comments. For more examples of Xining coins with rosette holes see http://primaltrek.com/flowerhole.html
Thanks! And thank you for ID, much appreciated! (Was just wondering about the rosette hole & if meant more probably Song after reading that very article, in fact!) Later deposition def more than credible, but was nice excuse to review the archaeological+documentary evidence! :)
Yes, of course, Thanks ! I think you have the same in UK, but : http://www.iramat-ceb.cnrs-orleans.fr/spip/ can do that.
