Also known coins Ta Ting T'ung Pao, casted in Vietnam in a.d.1369 during Emperor Ying Tsung. But usually Vietnamese coins have little size and are very thin.

Uncleared questions:
1. Are there in literature coins with circle on the obverse as on the third item?
2. I found large fourth item (obverse) only in the book CM - Chinesische Munzen". Combination of characters is uncleared.
