The pattern of random dots stamped into the obverses is their attempt at reproducing the sandy-looking background surface of a genuine cast coin. The top coin in the bottom pic is upside-down. And you won't find a matching coin in the world coin books unless you have a book that goes back to the 1700s, because this is a coin of the Qian Long emperor (older books might call him "Ch'ien Lung" - same name, just written differently), who reigned from 1735 to 1796. He had an extremely long reign at a time when China was still rich, prosperous and at peace - so his coins are still extremely cheap and common, even after nearly 300 years. 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
