Authentic and well preserved
As a numismatics enthusiast, I can confirm this appears to be a genuine artifact. The seal script is clear and the casting details are sharp for its age.

Beautiful patina
Lovely coin with authentic aging. The green patina is natural and not cleaned. Slightly smaller than I expected, but still very happy with the purchase.

Good but pricey
The coin is nice and seems old, but I feel the price is a bit high compared to other sellers. However, the fast shipping and secure packaging were excellent.
Q: What does the inscription on the back of the coin signify?
A: Most Chongning Zhongbao ten-cash coins have a mint mark or a character indicating the value on the reverse side. The specific character varies by the mint location during the Chongning era.
Q: Does the protective case fit standard display albums?
A: Yes, the included acrylic capsule is a standard 35mm size, which fits into most professional coin album pages designed for large cash coins.
Q: How should I clean this ancient copper coin?
A: We strongly advise against cleaning ancient coins. Cleaning can remove the natural patina and significantly reduce the historical and monetary value. Please keep it in the provided protective case.
Q: Is this coin an original artifact or a modern reproduction?
A: This is an original artifact from the Northern Song Dynasty. We do not sell reproductions. Each coin comes with a certificate of authenticity detailing its historical context.
Q: Can I return this item if the patina color is different than expected?
A: Since each ancient coin is unique with natural variations in patina due to age and burial conditions, we provide high-resolution photos before shipment. Returns are accepted only if the item is proven to be inauthentic.
