Can anyone help identify the coin? I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this, new here. Report this Post to the Staff

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 07/17/2017 06:04 am I'm researching as fast as I can, but I'm a novice so it takes a little longer. It looks like a 1 Cash coin from the Quing Dynasty. Issued under the second ruler Kang Xi between 1662 and 1723. Minted at Linquing in the Shandong province. Obverse reads "K'ang-hsi T'ung-pao" Reverse Lin (in Chinese at right) and Lin (in Manchu at left.) See KM #320.1, FD #2264, and Schjoth #1425. Coin #697 In David Jen's book Chinese Cash Identification and Price Guide. Both images were inverted. Report this Post to the Staff
