清代同治通宝宝武小平 上美品。QING: Tong Zhi, 1862-1874, AE charm (6.81g), Wuchang, Hubei Province, Hua Guangpu p.1747 (derived from H-22.1143), boo u in Manchu only, VF to EF, RR. Although Hua Guangpu states this was cast at the Baowu Bureau at the Wuchang mint, it is unlikely it was produced there. The similarity of this type and others with various mint names cast in the same style would indicate they were cast at one central mint, perhaps somewhat officially, likely during the reign of Guang Xu, 1875-1908.
