The above image is from

Chinese coinage so I am not (currently) able to write a paragraph entitled “Gold coinage”, if anyone owns any books on the subject or knows a reliable source than please use it to improve this article. Thank you in advance. 🙏🏻

It's not uncommon for news 📰 reports to report on Qing Dynasty coins being dug up, such as 500 kg. of it in the attached source (The Telegraph). The Ancient Chinese coinage articles lists a few of these events, I'm not sure if content such of that would improve the article or not, especially since the Qing dynasty only ended around a century ago. 🤔 --1.55.183.244 (talk) 06:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

The reason I included the images in the Wikitable is so

Seems fine to me. Sunshine Alexi (talk) 13:37, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

One of my main “reference lists” is the reference a reference list for 5.000 years of Chinese coinage (though in reality this has only been around 2, and a ½ thousand years), and they name a coin on their list called the Guāng Xù Yuán Bǎo (光緒元寶), now does this coin exist? Well, yes, and no. My original intent of writing both this article, and the

is not permitted, but neither is adding “hoax” coins (well, it DOES exist but not as THAT type of “Cash” coin where the list if made for), I hope that if you read this and still decide on adding the coin to the list that you name a respected source other than the above. Though the “5.000 years” reference list from Numista is a handy list and I’ve used it half a dozen times (if not more) here on Wikipedia, it does not name any other sources and expects to be taken at its face value, it hasn't been updated since 2013, and no comments have been made requesting aby corrections. I primarily used another list that is directly based on David Hartill’s works 📖 (yeah, “so someone else already did the work for me”), and generally speaking David Hartill is a very well respected numismatic source. I’m not saying that Sir David Hartill is perfect either, it's just that he’s more of a reliable source to use in this instance than the “5.000 years” reference list on Numista.

Note: The same type of coin is also a 大清錢, these inscriptions should be counted separate in a different series. --Donald Trung (talk) 11:40, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

It might be wise to create a separate article on the History of foreign coinage in China covering the silver coinage from other countries that circulated in China under Manchu rule. --Donald Trung (talk) 11:13, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

It would be worth considering nominating the article for A or GA status.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

@

the readers don't notice the difference anyhow as they're just looking for information. --Donald Trung (talk) 20:24, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Removed image

@Baomi:, just curious, but why did you remove this image? --Donald Trung (talk) 08:34, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

It's too high and very fuzzy, I think the second picture of Abkai fulingga han jiha is enough for the section.--Baomi (talk) 08:44, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Understandable, the characters on the image aren't readily readable without much effort, however it would be wise to write such things in an edit summary the next time so it doesn't just appear as if you randomly remove an image without a reason. Simply saying 'one image is sufficient" or something would've cleared up what you were thinking as others can't read your mind. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:56, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

I do have to admit that the images from the illustration look vague but ome thing the illustration did provide was an example of

Manchu script, of course the characters weren't that readable but I would propose if a better quality image depicting all Later Jin Dynasty cash coins together that we should replace the image of only one coin with that of more coins, but you were right that this image is a bit too blurry. --Donald Trung (talk) 09:35, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
