Help with another Chinese cash [solved]

I have put this coin on because of the topmost character. The coin is smaller and thinner than usual.

metal Brass
weight 1.15
size 20.54
thickness 0.71

not sure but maybe ming dynastie, av: chong zhen tong bao (chongzhen)

edit:

look here, maybe helps:

I agree that it could be a Chong zhen coin.

i've looked though hartill catalogue and it might be a h 20.333
it is definitely a fou cracter at bottom and a square head tong.

Ming dyanty - emperor S Zong 1628 - 1644

Thanks for tracking the coin down and giving the FD#

I found your comment about its use in Vietnam by a Rebel very useful. Giving further information like this enriches our knowledge and understanding and helps put the coins into a greater historical context.

Hi Roy,
I do not know the FD# of coin.
The Japanese issued one book about Vietnamese ancient coin (Japanese language) and I watch picture of coin on book.
I like this coin !
