Chinese cash coins can't normally be dated any more precisely then "it was issued during the reign of...". The concept of putting dates on coins just never caught on in China until the introduction of Western-style coinage, though they did try introducing it a couple of times. The Qian Long emperor reigned from 1735 to 1796; that's as accurate a date as you can get. Over a dozen mints were used to produce coins during his long reign, though most were cast at the two facilities in the capital, Beijing. Both the one on WCG and the "palace cash" on ebay were issued from the Board of Revenue mint. The mintmark is the Manchu script on the reverse. 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

Sap Moderator Australia 16812 Posts	Posted 03/29/2008 04:40 am These coins are so common, especially ones like this from one of the central mints, that real ones and fake ones normally cost about the same - a dollar or two at most. 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
