allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 12:27 pm You need to rotate it 90 degrees to the right. The surface looks like it is a struck coin (made to look like a cast coin) instead of a cast. I'd say it is a modern one that they put in the charms for sale. Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 12:32 pm I just consulted a site and this is likely supposed to be a coin of Yung Cheng (1723-1735). It looks far too clean to be such, though, so maybe it's just some replica or something like that. What's on the other side, by the way? Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 11:57 am 100% charm. A real coin would've had some Mongolian/Manchu writing instead of the dragons. I used to have a similar charm that was far smaller (maybe about half an inch across). Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 9:07 pm Yep, it's a replica/fantasy coin, made for Feng Shui purposes. These larger ones are typically intended to be hung on walls. 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

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 12:26 am Literally nothing. These are being churned out by factories in China every second. It's just a kitsch item. Report this Post to the Staff
