New Members elliehay Posted April 29, 2018 at 09:23 AM Author New Members Report Posted April 29, 2018 at 09:23 AM Thank you so much for your translation! I can't seem to find anything similar to it, or who could tell me if it is worth anything... Will keep searching Quote
889 Posted April 30, 2018 at 01:48 AM Report Posted April 30, 2018 at 01:48 AM I know nothing about these, I just translate. But a quick Google search suggests you might look into 19th century Vietnamese silver, which it seems was sometimes confusingly based on N Song models. For a real answer, though, you'll need to consult an expert on Asian coinage. Quote
