Would have been made around 1851-1861 the right most character is the province. Edited by Gincoin43 09/19/2019 11:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
GABatGH Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 12:19 am Thank you for that! What gives you hesitation that it might not be real? Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 12:22 am I don't know much about them and the characters seem a bit off. If it is real it probably worth a bit. They are called cash coins if you want to do some research. I think those ones are also cast, and I've no clue how to tell if its authentic. I'm not say it is fake, just that I don't know if it's real. Edited by Gincoin43 09/20/2019 02:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
