gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 04:58 am I'm not too sure if it's really common - I find 10 and 50 cash coin from Sichuan Province to be common but not 20 cash of this particular type and year. I may be wrong but I think it's worth more than a couple of dollars.

ngc663 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 8:27 pm It would be great if it is worth more. I can't seem to find anything on the Internet about it.. I found similar coins online dated 1912 but they do not seem as shiny and reflective as this one. I am not sure what this is made of, it does not seem like copper or brass. I uploaded one side of the coin again, this time in the correct orientation. Edited by ngc663 12/01/2013 9:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 12:26 am To my understanding, it was made of brass. Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 02:59 am It definitely is brass. To me it looks cleaned but again I had a look of my hoard of Chinese coin and I do not have this denomination of this type in my collection.
