Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 10/13/2008 7:06 pm Hi I have been able to identify a few chinese coins on my own over the years but this one I am stuck on. Weird positioning of the symbols and only one m.m symbol (if that is what it is) on the reverse. It is 25 m.m and 3.4 grams. Very thin and metallic sounding. Not bronzey. Any info would be appreciated. Thank's http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008...chinkobv.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008...chinkrev.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Unless you can read Kanji there is no shame in not being able to identify some of these old cast coins. What doesn't help at all is that Japan imported and even copied the Chinese coins at times, instead of making their own. Report this Post to the Staff
