Justinokay Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 8:23 pm Cash coin characters showing it is from time of Qianlong. But it looks couterfeit to me, real ones don't have spots on the obverse like that, maybe a part of a souvenir set looked like it was glued on red cardboard.

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 9:26 pm I believe that you have a fantasy token--not real Chinese money. The dots visible in your second picture are used to simulate the roughness of those fields on actual cast cash coins. The dried glue and remnant red paper are other signs of this not being an actual coin.

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 9:29 pm Everado just in case you didn't get the first comment, this coin, if it was real, is perhaps a "10 cash" or a "50 cash" or more generically a "cash". Report this Post to the Staff
