merty New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 6:12 pm I just found a chinese coin or medal that has a picture of Nurhaci on the front and dates of his reign. But what is it and what is the value? There is a dragon on the back if that helps. Thanks Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 7:05 pm It's part of a series of "fantasy coins" made in China; you can find them with each of the Qing Dynasty emperors. Here's an old thread with pics of some similar "coins". The obverse is not based on the design of a genuine coin; the Chinese Empire never featured portraits of the emperor on coinage, and the Republic wouldn't have issued coins featuring long-gone monarchs. The dragon is coped from either the "side view" dragon like on the ones above, used on the coinage of Yuan Shi-Kai, or the "coiled facing" dragon of the Empire. 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

thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 02/07/2010 01:57 am I've got the same set of coins in a nice booklet with a brief history of each emperor in English and Chinese. Picked up in Kuala Lumpur a couple of years ago. Never noticed the dates before. All the reverses are the same. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 11/24/2010 7:31 pm Replica and fantasy Chinese dollars like these typically sell for 1 or 2 dollars each.

maheshmahesh1984 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 12/25/2010 12:19 am Hello, I have seen 50 United States Quarters Dollar Bills (Companion Set) on e-bay. The bills look attractive. I have attached an image of one of the bill. The price the seller is asking for all 50 states and Puerto Rico bill(Total 51 bills) is $16[$14+$2(S&H)]. Is this the good price? Do these make good collection? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
