The second coin (rotate it 90 degrees clockwise to make it right way up) is from his successor the Xian Feng emperor (1851-1861). The Krause world coin catalogues have sections in the front to help ID the emperors. If you don't have a Krause catalogue and want to read the emperor names for yourself, they are the top and bottom characters (when rotated correctly), then look up a list of Qing emperors such as the one on Wikipedia and compare the characters to the characters given in under "reign-name". On Qing Dynasty coins, the left and right characters are always the same (and translate to "current coin"). The script on the reverses of the Chinese coins is indeed not Chinese. It is Manchu; the Qing Dynasty were Manchu in origin and had not forgotten this. The reverse inscription the mint-name: again, the KRause catalogue has a handy pictorial guide. The top coin is from the Board of Revenue mint in Beijing; the second coin is from Kwangtung (Guangdong) Province. 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
