Tai Ping 1 Cash with the reverse side mirroring the obverse. Characters 太 平 天 国, "Tai Ping Tian Guo" [t,b,r,l] meaning "Heavenly Kingdom Sacred Currency". This exact type is listed in Ma & Ma "Encyclopedia of Tai Ping Currency" (T199 p. 90, 1994 ISBN 7-208-01864-2/K .416). This listing places this coin in the 'regular' TaiPing coinage section as opposed to fantasies and fakes, etc. in other sections. Unfortunately, even though there is a short paragraph describing this coin, I can not read Chinese. This coin is listed in a short sub-section of the book featuring only five coins and has a long paragraph about these 5 and a short one about each coin depicted in the rubbings. I would be thrilled to send somebody the three pages for a translation. This is cataloged in Zeno.ru [ link ] as Coin # 186988; 3.46 g and 22.5 mm.

I've scanned a few pages of Ma & Ma's "Encyclopedia of Tai Ping Currency" concerning these 'muled' cash coins. From the Contents of the book it's Chapter 7, Section 14 & 15. My translator (a non-collector college student from China) had Section 14 (where T199 resides) translated as 'wrong coin of Taipingtianguo' and Section 15 as 'error coin of Taipingtianguo.'
