Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 6:29 pm As @gc points out, having more info would be helpful, but I think that I can get you started with these Chinese cast cash. The one on the right is 19th Century Qing Dynasty. Here is a numista link to a similar coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces26024.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Amanda074 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 6:36 pm Here are more photos. I will let you know the weight when I get home but they are smaller than a quart and a little bigger than a buckle. Report this Post to the Staff

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 7:32 pm The left one is a Qialong 1 cash, I cant quite make out the right symbol on the reverse, which is the one that tells you which one specifically. But my best guess is : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces30355.html Maybe someone else can or the link below starts listing them about halfway down and goes on for a couple pages. Might be quickest just to look yourself as you have it in hand. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ch...mpire-6.html Report this Post to the Staff

The markings on the back are in 'Manchu' and easily translated to roman characters. From there you can figure out which one you have on a coin website. https://omniglot.com/writing/manchu.htm Report this Post to the Staff
