Top Right: Chinese "Qian Long Tong Bao" from 1736-1795. Far Right: Chinese "Yuan Feng Tong Bao" from 1078-1085. Bottom Right: Chinese "Guang Xu Tong Bao" from 1875-1908. Bottom Left: Vietnamese "Dai Tri Nguyen Bao" from 1358. I have never seen one of these before, and I expect it to be the most valuable coin in this lot. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/19/2016 10:06 am Your Guangxu cash is a somewhat scarcer variety. Here is a link: http://www.calgarycoin.com/referenc...a8.htm#kuang hsu This was apparently only made in one year, because the mint director got a royal slap on the hand for breaking tradition and taking the liberty of... gasp putting the denomination on the coin! Still only worth a few bucks, as opposed to one. Report this Post to the Staff
