Rensuka New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 2:20 pm Hi All, First time post here, trying to figure out the origin/ what this coin is. It has been sitting in my collection for a number of years but I haven't been able to ID it. On the front it has an intricate design of a dragon. On the reverse it has some Chinese or Japanese writing. It was found in a CoinStar machine at ShopRite. Hope it's something cool! Report this Post to the Staff

Koinz Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 2:56 pm I believe it is a ten cash coin from China, but not sure which province. The second picture is actually upside down. You can see a faint 'TEN CASH' underneath the dragon. Can you tell what letters are at the top above the dragon? Report this Post to the Staff

There's a lot of similar provincial types, though, and, sadly, from those photos I can't figure out which one it could be specifically. Report this Post to the Staff
Koinz Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 3:18 pm There is a series of coins from the Hupeh Province. Here is the Numista link that describes your coin more. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5604.html Report this Post to the Staff
Rensuka New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 3:44 pm Thank you all! It appears to be a Hu-Peh Province 10 Cash Chinese Copper Coin. I'm seeing them go for about $15 to $30 online. Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
