Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 05:22 am I usually stay away from Sino or Chinese items as I can read the letters... but this looked interesting, however I need help. Found this token in a bag of foreign coins, I can not identify (tried google, nope) Non Magnetic, 30 mm two tone Mandarin on Front(silvery cloak & Fur on hat) 10.32 grams reeded edge. Has Mandarin & a palace, my guess is: Household Good Luck Charm?! Chinese characters can not be read by me... Can any member help advise me what these characters symbolize?

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 11:32 pm The portrait is of the Qian Long emperor, who reigned 1735-1796. It is his name, Qian Long Huang Di ("The Qianlong Emperor"). I can't make out what the two characters beneath the (extremely stylized) building on the reverse are. It won't be very old; probably not pre-2000. If I had to guess, I'd guess it was part of a set of medals commemorating each of the Qing Dynasty emperors. Such things are commonly seen for sale, both individually and in sets, in the souvenir stalls around historic sites in mainland China. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 07/22/2020 2:02 pm I can sympathize with members trying find out info on this token (as I have spent hours on it) even asked my Chinese son in law (speaks Cantonese but can not read it!) Well, at least we tried... Report this Post to the Staff
