It's fromt he reign of the Guang Xu emperor (Kuang Hsu old spelling), ruled 1875-1908. It is from one of the Xinjiang (Sinkiang) Province mints, though which one is hard to say because the mint-name is the part hardest to read. I thinl it's Urumchi mint, which operated from 1886 to 1906. 9.7mm is way too small for a genuine cash coin, though. Are you sure it's not 19.7mm? Finally, your bottom pic is upside-down. Chinese cash coins usually have "medal orientation", rather than "coin orientation". 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
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2643 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 10:35 am Well, I just bought a caliper, and I obviously don't know how to read it, because the cash coin is larger than a quarter. OK, it's 25 mm. It's 0.9 inches. Thank you for giving me a place to look. Looks like KM#8 is a match. Thanks again. Edited by Arkie 05/02/2015 10:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
