DescriptionHồng Đức Thông Bảo - Dr. Luke Roberts 01.jpg
English: Hong Duc Thong Bao
This coin was minted1470-1497. It was given to me a good coin collector friend. I am rather sure that it is a mother coin because it is of extremely fine make, the character and rim edges are vertical and deep, and the coin is slightly larger than the rubbing in my source text the Touyou kosen zuroku (Anasendou 1977). It is no larger on the outside than the similar circulating coin below, but measuring across the inside of the rim it is slightly larger. The metal seems to have a high nickel content.
