I Have tried many a website to try and decipher it myself but I just can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 8:26 pm Hello and welcome. The inscription is that of a Chinese coin of the Jia Qing emperor. Unfortunately, this piece is a modern machine-struck reproduction. 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

Not that I want to sell it just curious for when relatives ask me when they see my collection of finds. Report this Post to the Staff

You can often find pieces exactly like this in a coin dealer's "Chinese coins - $2 each" bucket, but that's usually with dealers that don't know enough about them to spot the obvious fakes like this one. For a more realistic price, this feng shui supplies store will sell you a bag of 50 replica cash coins for $15.88. 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
