Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 10:49 am Sorry, I can't identify it, but I'll say it's probably a Chinese token to commemorate the ancient Chinese Spade money. I'll post the pics here, as some people can't access photobucket: Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 2:21 pm At the time of the issue of this coin Republic of China had nothing to do with Taiwan. Since 1912 it governed most of the mainland China while Taiwan was in Japanese hands. Taiwan came to control of RC at the end of WW2 in 1945. After the civil war in 1949 the RC government fled to Taiwan. What you have, gaming, is ~~10 cash (10 wen)~~ 1 cent (1 fen) of the Republic of China (not Taiwan), dated year 26 of the Republic, i.e. 1937.

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 3:10 pm I guess my Krause confused me about the denomination. Still, no Taiwan. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 6:10 pm Silly me! Instead of waiting for someone to answer the question I dug out three Chinese dictionaries and a text book and tried to decipher the characters. ä¸è¯æ°'åœ‹ äºŒåå.å¹´ [read left to right] China twenty six years Or, as the coin shows: å¹´å.åäºŒ åœ‹æ°'è¯ä¸ [read right to left] As for one fen: cent = åˆ† the character for "one", which Google will NOT provide me, is a form used on cheques to avoid forgery. And also on old coins! My eyes need a break now. Report this Post to the Staff
