Re: Chinese Sycee
Hello Miles
In the first photo, reading the eight characters from right to left:
"Tu Duc Year Made / Pure Silver Ten Lang"
Simply put, "Made in the Reign of Tu Duc, Ten taels of pure silver."
Tu Duc (1848-1883) was the last emperor of Vietnam prior to establishment of the French colony of Indo-china.
