Koinz Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 04/29/2018 8:09 pm I think it is an Old Man Dollar from Taiwan spanning from about 1838-1850. I'm not sure how authentic it is, though. Fakes are pretty common. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16887 Posts	Posted 04/29/2018 10:43 pm Yep, it's a replica of an "old man dollar". The original coins were struck by rebels on Taiwan sometime around 1840. Genuine coins are rather rare and quite valuable, being the first Chinese-made machine-struck dollars and with a design distinctly different to all other Chinese coins, before and afterwards.
