What do you guys think? Thanks Edited by silverdollar2011 07/19/2012 7:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

There was never a genuine Chinese coin that had either of these designs. 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
allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 9:03 pm I am fairly certain it is not a coin as I have been browsing the Chinese section trying to attribute some of mine and have not seen it. It must be some sort of commemorative medallion. It looks like a modern one too. I can't read the Chinese so I can't help you beyond that. Report this Post to the Staff

The Chinese at the top of the second image translates as "Han Dynasty Emperor". The Chinese to the right of the portrait translates as "Emperor Wu of Han". Gary Report this Post to the Staff
