Ceanag New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 02:39 am Hi all, I have this coin which I beleive to be Chinese and have not been able to find a similar match in searching online. I acquired this coin with a Sun Yat-Sen Junk coin which I was able to identify as fake. Because of this I am presuming this one may also be fake but am curious for identification and verification. Thanking you in advance,Ceanag. Report this Post to the Staff

JapanDude New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 1:54 pm My language skills are Japanese, not Chinese, but I did a search using the Chinese characters and found this. It looks like it's dated 1890. http://book.kongfz.com/132384/991060762/ Other similar examples are here. https://www.google.com/search?q=%E5...mgrc=_&vet=1 I hope that this helps.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 05/07/2019 11:24 am Whether it may be Shansi or Shantung Arsenal (reference images are not so clear in the books) you can be certain it is not genuine. Apart from extreme rarity, it may not be the right size or weight and probably not good silver. Report this Post to the Staff
