The Ming Chang Zhong Pao coin is a fake of the reign title Ming Chang of the Chin (Gold) Dynasty which lasted between 1190 and 1196 A.D.

There were no issued coins known from this reign title period.

However, there is a Ming Chang Yuan Pao one cash coin depicted in old Japanese numismatic journals that is now believed to be an old fake made to "fill the gap" in the reign title series.

It can be named as Fantasy coin.

Any additional comments on that item would be appreciated.
