Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 8:27 pm It's a modern day fake of a Chinese coin. Can you provide better clear pictures? It's an imitation of what may be Kirin Province, 3 Mace, 1884. Oh, if you can get better pictures, it's best if both images are not upside down.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 02:55 am Spence- not the same coin but it points the OP in the right direction. The OP coin is Y# 170 or 170.1 imitation. Could be one of the Kann 918's. The link provided is Y# 172. Could be one of the Kann 916's. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 1:10 pm Ok fair enough. You got the OP close.
