I gave them my best estimates for the U.S and European coins. But I quickly reached the limit of my knowledge with these ancient Chinese cash coins: Any Information about dates, regions, materials, values, likelihood of counterfeiting, etc. Would be marvelously appreciated! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Rhodare 07/18/2020 7:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 8:57 pm Welcome to the Coin Community Family! These are all common cash coins of the Ch'ing Dynasty, worth about $1-2 each. They can be identified at http://www.calgarycoin.com/referenc...chai%20ching Starting from the top left as number 1, going across to 3, then second row from left as number 4, going across to 6 1. Kao Tsung (Ch'ien Lung) 1736-1795, possibly Kiangsu mint (hard to read) 2 and 5 same: Hsuan Tsung (Tao-Kuang) 1821-1850, Board of Works mint Beijing 3. Jen Tsung (Chai-Ch'ing) 1796-1820, possibly Yunnan mint (hard to read) 4. Sheng Tzu (K'ang-Hsi) 1662-1722, Board of Revenue mint Beijing 6. same as 1 but Board of Revenue mint Beijing For future attribution requests it would be helpful to number the coins and orient them correctly.
