I must admit, it has been a slow week posting on the site. The Eclipse piece I just posted, and the Mystery Coin answer, which was a 115-113 B.C. Wu Zhu: https://coinofnote.com/115-113-b-c-china-wu-zhu/

The Han Dynasty was an amazing time, and it is incredible to think this design was produced for 736 years, the longest running coin in history.
