ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 10:50 am Can anybody help identify this coin? I see that quite a few Chinese provinces used "Tai Ching Ti Kuo" on their coins, so I have had a difficult time pinpointing what province and date this coin is. Thanks for the help!

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 7:15 pm Except, as you can see at the bottom of the Chinese inscription, this is actually a 20 cash coin, not a 10 cash. So it would be this coin. The mintmark, on this coinage series, is the incuse character stamped into the central disc on the Chinese-language side. "Tai Ching Ti Kuo" is an old Anglicization of the characters #22823;#28152;#24093;#22283;, which in modern Chinese Anglicization are "Da Qing Digou", translating to "Great Qing (Dynasty) Empire". So it is in effect just the name of the country. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 7:44 pm Thanks Sap! I should have included a weight and diameter, but, comparing the measurements with the above websites and the Krause catalog, it is a 20 cash. Thanks again. Very cool Report this Post to the Staff

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 05/26/2020 9:54 pm Wow. That's easily a 100 dollar coin. Haven't been keeping up with prices but I'm certain it's around there. Looks genuine as well.
