Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 07:03 am It's a Qianlong coin, but I can't tell if it's a crude copy, or a normal coin that's been part-melted in a fire and filed back flat again. 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

Fairfax98 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 2:17 pm Sorry, just adding in my Two Cents (or rather tongbaos) here- it's a Qianlong tongbao and probably real IMO. These were made by the millions & I don't think it's very strange to see them like this in China- a lot of them were also worn on clothes/necklaces or made into other things by various ethnic groups, so not surprised to see particularly crude/bashed up ones (though I recognise this seems to be mostly casting flaws). IMO it adds to the charm! Report this Post to the Staff
AlfredG Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 03/27/2024 09:51 am most likely a balinese copy, the balinese made very crude copy coins of Chinese cash coins for various purposes. Report this Post to the Staff
