Lancek Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 07/04/2020 11:05 pm Chinese cash coin. Too many made over the centuries for me to tell you much. But you might find it here. http://www.calgarycoin.com/referenc.../chinaid.htm It is also more likely to be a recent copy. As millions have been made for the Chinese tourist market.

Sap Moderator Australia 16876 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 6:36 pm The inscription is "Yong Zheng tong bao", from the coinage of the Yong Zheng emperor of China (ruled 1722-1735). However, the rim is much narrower on this piece than on normal coins of this period; I suspect it is a modern charm. 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
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 9:57 pm This piece could be legitimate or maybe a replica, but since the reverse side is not shown it could be any one of eighteen coins. For the OP to get a better reply, the other side needs to be posted. At least that would point to H#22.170 to H#22.187 Some coins did have narrower rims while many were wider.
