 Very similar to T'ien Ch'i coins of the Ming
Dynasty but note the slight difference in the
bottom character. Here the left part of the
character that looks a P is joined to the stroke
- above it. The more common Ming coin has
Ta Ming Hung Kuang Lung Wu  
no join in the strokes. There is also a smaller
Lung Feng T'ien Ch'i version of this coin.

Wu Chu coins (112 - 559 a.d.)
      The Wu-Chu coin was cast by many rulers form the First
Century B.C. to the Sixth Century A.D. They are very hard
K'ai Yuan to date as they bear no reign titles. Many of the dynasties
below feature Wu Chu coins but for the purpose of this
Wu Chu web page I have only one section for them.
