Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 01/20/2020 4:47 pm Thanks for the clue to state/province and era. I was using an old Krause World Coin Catalogue from 1987 but could find nothing, then googled, I am going NO WHERE. Why not ask for help. Thank You Report this Post to the Staff

If you don't have access to Hartill, then numista.com can be super-useful. For example, using the keywords KANGXI and CASH bring me to multiple examples of your late 17th/early 18th Century cast Cash. I do note that there are likely sub-varieties and the book is probably the best way to chase down that level of detail.
