My internet search identified it as an "Asian/Chinese" coin, but there are so many variations and the oriental characters are so difficult to match, I didn't get very far. I would like to know if it is "real" or a copy. And if it has any value. I have included two pics (front and back) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Most you'll encounter are Chinese, typically dating to the Ch'ing Dynasty (1559 to 1912). On the whole, even genuine examples of such will be pretty inexpensive and easy to come by. That said, the first one looks like a reproduction to me. The other three are most likely authentic and definitely Ch'ing Dynasty issues. Here's a good website designed to allow you to determine the exact emperor and mint for each: http://www.calgarycoin.com/referenc...a/china8.htm Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 04/13/2018 4:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
