Any help in this ID would be appreciated! Edited by Archraz 02/18/2014 5:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 02/18/2014 5:36 pm I think you mean "20th century". It is a Szechuan Province 50 cash, dated "First year of the Republic of China". Whether it was actually struck in 1912 or sometime later is hard to be certain, as dies tended to get re-used rather carelessly at this point in China's history. You can find a similar coin, only Year 4, in this orphan thread. Krause lists four varieties with this date, two copper, two brass. Yours looks a copper type, unless the colour in your picture is off. The varieties are "small centre flower" and "large centre flower". I think yours is a "large". 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
