Description

Obv. 乾封泉寶 Qian Feng Quan Bao (clockwise). (Qianfeng Coin Treasure). Rev. Plain. Could also be Ma Yin from the State of Chu. It is unusual to have the bottom character in seal script for coins of this type from Emperor Gaozong and unusual to have nothing on the reverse for coins of Ma Yin from the state of Chu. This may be a charm.
