I am uncertain which province this coin is from since I cannot find a matching KM# with the same character in the innermost circle on the obverse. I think that it may be Y#10m from the Kiangsi province. It is just so hard to tell since the pics in the Krause books are quite poor. Any input would be great!

Thanks

DagonX- thank you for the link! That is quite helpful to know that that symbol in the very center is the mint mark.

monster- thanks! Believe it or not, I was just able to ID it myself last night. Thanks for confirming my conclusion though! Would you agree that it is about a VF? I just wonder why it is worth so much considering the high mintage.

Sorry. I sdon't know the chinese copper coin. I only know chinese. For one thing, Yunnan is a very backward region in the old day.
