The edge is only partially reeded. Do you consider it a genuine coin? Could you help me to find a correct classification? Thanks in advance to anyone who will bring his opinion in my topic Report this Post to the Staff

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 06:20 am I've not seen anything like this before. It says "fen wu" or "fen five" on the first photo. The hammer and sickle seem to imply communism, however the Communist era coins put fen after the number, and this isn't anything they produced after 1948. Maybe it's some kind of coin produced before 1948 to circulate among the Communists. I was in Yan'an in northern Shaanxi once where Mao was hiding from the Japanese. Sorry, the CCP says he was fighting the Japanese...... cough cough. But I don't remember anything like this, but that doesn't mean much as my memory is kaputt. Report this Post to the Staff

Under China, People's Republic \ Chinese Soviet Republic in numismaster.com. With a reeded edge the ca. 1932 original is Y# 507.1 and the 1960 restrike Y# 507a. Report this Post to the Staff

This is definitely not a restrike issue however I cannot say with confidence that this is genuine.

gg_cu Valued Member Canada 72 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 2:34 pm I would be very wary of these coins as Chinese Soviet coins are quite rare and often counterfeited. Report this Post to the Staff
AndP36 New Member Italy 13 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 2:53 pm Thanks very much for your precious indications and opinions. Are size and weight corresponding to a genuine issue? Is it possible to distinguish the original one by stylistic analyses or in other ways? Edited by AndP36 05/03/2018 2:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
