manymore Valued Member United States 347 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 9:04 pm It is actually a coin that was struck at the Tianjin mint in 1936 (25th year of the Republic) and worth the equivalent of ten copper coins. However, only trial versions of the coin were produced and none ever circulated so they are very rare. Authentic coins were only made of "red copper" so your specimen is obviously a reproduction. There are many "fakes" of this coin. An authentic coin would easily be worth more than US$10,000. Gary Report this Post to the Staff

The Chinese refer to it as the "25th year of the Republic of China (1936), ping character (å¹³), golden harvest, ten copper coin". As far as searching and not being able to find it, a fairly good "fake" specimen may be seen at this Chinese website. There is also an entry for the coin in the Baidu Library. The coin actually has a very interesting history, which is too much to discuss here, but involves the Japanese invasion of north China and Chiang Kai-shek being forced to move the government from the Beiping-Tianjin area. The ping (å¹³) character on the coin refers to Beiping. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
