arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 06/11/2008 10:06 pm I presented this in the world coin suggestion but no one knew what it was. Sap suggested that it might be a token. Has anyone seen one of these before or does anyone know what it is? Report this Post to the Staff

Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 06/11/2008 10:14 pm Im not an expert of these type of coins. But I will say that there are alot of counterfeits running around that look like that. When I mean like that I mean with the hole in it not the wording. I cant read Chinese so I cant help with that lol. I need to read alot of fortune cookies to maybe read one letter. Now I'm hungry for Chinese. Report this Post to the Staff

arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 06/11/2008 11:50 pm enchizento - Do you know the KM# and year? Someone mentioned that they thought it had both Chinese and Japanese characters on it. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 06/12/2008 03:52 am Arthrene's original thread with this coin is here. Thanks to echizento's insistence I searched zeno.ru and found this entry, which identifies it and gives the KM/Y number: China-Empire, 1 cash, undated by known to have been struck in 1909. KM/Y# 25. CV $2 in VF. I was thrown out by the picture in my Krause, which doesn't show the hole - it looks like a solid coin, and I was looking for small coins with holes. 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
