hi,
I think it is a memorial currency.
It is about 2-8 dollors.
It is not chinese money.
It is a trophy.
If any thing you want to know,let me know.

Sunyang, I am sure there are members here who will be interested in ancient Chinese coins. I myself would like to know coins of the various dynasties.

You can always start an educational thread or two at the world coins section. Post scans if you have any.

Looking forward to your posts....

Sunyang you could start a new topic under "World coins" about Chinese coins. I'm sure it will be interesting, you can startby describing your avatar coin. The dragon looks nice.

That is what I made out as well...hence my thinking that it is some sort of a talisman/charm. However, what is on the other side do not support this line of thinking. It does not tie in with any of the religions observed in the region.

hi,
It is a 'huaqian',a memorial currency!
and someone tell me that it may be made in last few years.
If you have a ancient memorial currency,it may have some value.
'huaqian' is used to appreciate and enjoy, decorate, joyous, donate, celebrate, press evil, pray.
In china, it is about US$ 50-200 .

A very lucky "guess" I suppose....

It would be great to see your coins. Please post them at the World Coins Forum.

Sunyang, I had to edit out the characters at the top of your posts. While I'm sure it comes out in Chinese fine on your computer, it translates to gibberish here and the forum code does not know what to do with it.

Thank you for posting the info on this coin.

I do not know much about ancient Chinese coins.
But I feel this one may be a counterfeit.
Or it is not a coin at all because there is no denomination on it.
