Can anyone help ID this cash coin. The reverse indicates Nanjing mint . I found a similar Numista entry but one of the 4 characters on the obverse is different. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces174152.html
Well, there are two of the characters that are different; the two characters (top and bottom) that indicate the reign-name of the emperor.
Your coin is from the Kang Xi emperor (1661-1722). As he reigned for a long time and China was wealthy and prosperous at the time, his coins are still quite common, despite their age.
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
