Abstract
Two samples of ancient Chinese coins were analyzed with a confocal three-dimensional micro-X-ray fluoroscope. The depth distributions of elemental iron (Fe), calcium (Ca) and copper (Cu) were obtained based on this non-destructive measurement method. One coin, named “Chongning Tongbao”, was certified as genuine in accordance with the available archaeological data, whereas another coin, named “Zhenglong Yuanbao”, was identified as a reproduction.
