Comments
The pictured specimen is Barker 123.0b, a type with closed Tong head and different left radical in Han.
This coin is not related to the Ho Dynasty. It is a later common trade cash circa 1650, imitating the Chinese Posterior Han coin which was itself used in the monsoon trade. The attribution by Toda was his imagination.
