I think it is a China 1 Jiao (10 cents) from 1897(?). I know nothing about this period, and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the coin, and possibly if it's worth anything. Thanks!

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 07/30/2019 10:32 pm If it is a genuine Pei Yang coin, values may be difficult. One catalog shows $60 to $500 and online sales records show a wide range from a $150 or so to $1000. Some catalogs have coins that look similar under Chihli Province with values varying from $7.50 to $30 Much better quality and larger pictures would help.

I have uploaded some photos that I think are slightly better, along with a picture of the edge of the coin. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 10:48 pm The value may or may not be much. Check your coin first if it silver. And then these measures: 19mm dia, 7/8mm thick, 2.7g weight. There are 5 varieties of this coin. My idea, if the coin is genuine, is that it may be the more common and lower end of the price range.

This however is definitely genuine. From Peiyang province dated 1897, denomination 1 jiao. I believe in this condition, it should exceed 200 dollars - I don't quite keep track of prices so I could be quite off. (hopefully more) My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.
