jbradfor Posted January 30, 2011 at 05:30 AM Report Posted January 30, 2011 at 05:30 AM I assume it is meant to be read 同治通寶： top bottom right left. If I got that right, 同治 is the reign name of the Qing emperor from 1861 to 1875, and I believe 通寶 is a name for that type of coin (i.e. with the hole in the middle). Quote
Glenn Posted January 30, 2011 at 08:10 PM Report Posted January 30, 2011 at 08:10 PM I always start at the top and read clockwise, and the never make sense. I'll keep the top-bottom, right-left thing in mind from now on. Quote
