[QUOTE="Dron, post: 448342, member: 7074"] Sweet find! Looks like Ch'ien-Lung to me, Emperor KAO TSUNG AD 1736-1795 reign title: CH'IEN-LUNG, AD 1736-1795 [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7074/1540782694_coinrusso.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/china8.htm#chien%20lung[/url] [i]Ch'ien-lung is thought of as one of the most brilliant rulers in Chinese history.
