Spence Moderator United States 34467 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 7:41 pm @greg, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like your first pic is upside down. That character means "rich" or "wealth" in Chinese. I'm guessing that you have a gambling token, perhaps from Macau.

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 8:19 pm That is a 1 tael coin from French IndoChina, made from 1943 to 1944. There were two types made: one that is 34.0 grams, and one that is 38.2 grams. With your coin being in the middle of both, I am not sure which it would be, but it is not a cheap coin (see here and here). Edited by Joseph7420 02/19/2017 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
