newguy22 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 01:53 am Here are some images of coins that have counter stamps that were flower-like in design. Apparently, coins with these stamps circulated in the Madura Islands in Indonesia. Sadly, I can't seem to find any matches on Google for my stamp. It is interesting to find out that flower counterstamps were a thing, although it seems these were done in territories other than China. The hunt continues! Report this Post to the Staff
