Forgive the photos cutting off the top and bottom slightly, my magnifyer lens cannot zoom any further out. The coins weigh 4.31g, 3.7g and 4.73g. They all measure 24mm in diameter. Thanks for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

Using that, it looks to me like the top coin is 17th century Qing Dynasty while the lower two are likely later—perhaps into the 18th Century.

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 03/12/2022 09:26 am I agree with Spence, the top coin is Emperor Shih Tsu (aka Shun Chih) 1644-1661, not sure of mint. The lower two coins are the same, Emperor Sheng Tsu (aka K'ang Hsi), 1662-1722, mints either Board of Revenue or Board of Works. Maybe another member can further clarify the identification. In future it would help with ID to orient coins correctly. Edited by Seeker55 03/12/2022 09:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
