Abysswalker7 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/23/2015 4:00 pm It looks like a Kuang Hsu coin from the Chi'ing Dynasty Emperor being Te Tsung However the mintmark looks only kind of close to to the Boo - Ciowan mark. Beginning to think this could be a fake but I'm not sure.. Report this Post to the Staff
