KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 9:02 pm Just bought this coin in a lot from a local estate which had some WWII era asian coins. I don't know anything about it but it looks older than some I've seen sold as tourist items and it has not seem on the edge from an obvious cheap casting. What do you think?

KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 11:08 pm Thanks! Did I have the emperor correct? Report this Post to the Staff
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 02:25 am Yes, you had the emperor correct & "gg_cu" was correct with the reign title. Dynasty: Ch'ing (1644 - 1911) Emperor: Sheng Tsu (1661-1722) Reign Title: Kang Hsi (1661-1722) Mint: Board of Public Works Mint, Peking. (I believe! Either that or Board of Revenue Mint, Peking) Report this Post to the Staff
