arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 3:42 pm Here are some cash coins I have accumulated. I'd like some help with the dating and if possible the KM#s (there are so many in Krause I have no idea what to do). 1 2 3 4 5 Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 01/06/2008 01:07 am #1: the Qian Long emperor (1736-1795), called "Ch'ien Lung" in the Krauses, which still use the old Wade-Giles romanization system. The pics for this one are upside-down. The mintmark in Manchu script on the other side is for the Board of Revenue mint in the capital, Beijing, KM# 387.1 #2: the Dao Guang (Tao Kuang) emperor (1821-1850), same mint as #1. KM/C# 1-3. #3: the Jia Qing (Chia Ch'ing) emperor (1796-1820), same mint as the first two. KM# 440.1. #4: Same emperor as #1, but the mint this time is Board of Works, also in Beijing. The top pic is also upside down. KM# 390. #5: Same emperor as #1 and #4; I can't clearly make out the mintmark, but it's likely the same as either #1 or #4. 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

arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 01/06/2008 2:17 pm Thanks for all the help Sap! #5 appears to have the same mint mark as #1 (this is the coin's reverse correct?). It didn't show up that well on the scans. Report this Post to the Staff
arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 01/12/2008 3:46 pm Bump. Can anyone help me on these last two coins (pictured above). Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 01/12/2008 11:42 pm Sorry. I saw the second batch of pics when you first posted it, then forgot to go back to this thread when I got home. #6 is exactly the same as #4. #7 is exactly the same as #1. Sorry to make you wait so long for such an anticlimactic answer. Qian Long did actually have over a dozen provincial mints issuing cash coins (though most Chinese cash coins, as you have seen, come from the two mints in the Capital). 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
