(?i) With the legend Kuang-ting-yuen-pao or c Principal money of 
the Kuang-ting period.’ This period was current under Shin-tsung in 
the State Hear, apparently in the 13th century; see Hillier, No. 194

(o) With the legend King-king-tung-pao or ‘ Current money of the 
King-hing period.’ The exact date of this period appears to be un¬ 
known; see Hillier, No. 308 (p. 154) ; it should be somewhere in the 
time of the T’ang or Sang dynasties. There is one coin of this period ; 
weight 41*5 grns. ; size 0 9375". Plate III, No. 6. From M. 2. 
(p) With unread legends. There are three coins of this kind, 
which I cannot identify in Ilillier’s article. They all have the term 
tung-pao which refers them to the time of the T’ang or Sung dynasties. 
One of them is shown on Plate II, fig. 11. Weights 39*5, 51*5, 58 grs.; 
size 09375-1". From M. 2. 
(2) Coins with obverse and reverse legends. (PL II, fig. 19). 
There is only one coin of this class, which I have not been able to 
identify in Hillier’s article. I read the obverse legend Li-yung-tung-pao 
or ‘ Current money of the Li-yung period.’ The reverse has only one 
symbol chen or ‘ a bazar.’ In Hillier’s article I find this symbol only on 
the reverses of certain coins of Yung-ming-wang and Chang-hin-chung 
(Nos. 254 and 259, pp. 136 and 139), who are said to be princes at the 
close of the Ming dynasty, Le., 1644 A.D. Weight 55 grs., size 09375". 
(c) Modern Coins . 
The total number of modern coins is 28. They fall into the 
following classes : 
a) Coins with Chinese legends on both sides. Of these there 
are altogether 24, of the following reigns :— 
(a) With the obverse legend Kang-lii-tung-pao or ‘ Current money 
of the Emperor Kang-hi,’ who reigned from 1661-1722 A.D. Of his 
reign there are two coins, with the same reverse legend of two words 
in Manchu characters pao tsiuen or ‘ source of money,’ i.e ., mint Peking. 
Weight 70 and 50 grs.; size P0625" and 0 875". Plate II, 20. 
(b) With the obverse legend K'ien-lung-tung-pao, or * Current 
money of the Emperor K’ien-lung,’ who reigned 1735-1796 A.D. Of
