Sap Moderator Australia 16828 Posts	Posted 08/19/2012 6:56 pm The top one is a machine-struck replica Chinese cash; the obverse is a rather crudely rendered depiction of a cash coin of the last Qing emperor; the reverse shows the AD dates in which that emperor reigned. It comes from a set of replicas covering the entire Qing dynasty. The "bubbly" pattern on the obverse is their attempt to match the sandy background of genuinely cast coins. The bottom one is presumably a threepence token, or perhaps a piece of play money. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
