mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 6:59 pm I suspect this is most likely Chinese, quite old, and the quarter gives some scale. I'm not too sure beyond that, like on age and value. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 01/20/2021 8:45 pm @mr, how sure are you that it is old? I'm not seeing it listed on the primaltrek page for Chinese horse tokens (https://primaltrek.com/horse.html) and so I'm wondering if perhaps this is a modern concoction.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 01/20/2021 10:12 pm It could be a modern concoction, but to me, it has an aged look. Also the horse and human figure designs have that machine doubled look, and that probably makes it more modern perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff

Size of it sure is pretty neat though. I wasn't expecting that quarter to be completely dwarfed Report this Post to the Staff
