Digfred New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 5:08 pm I found three Chinese coins and am hoping for help identifying them. I'll post them separately. I think they're coins and not charms. I looked on Primaltrek and I think, based on the back, it's Qing Dynasty. But trying to compare the four on the front to the various characters on primaltrek had my eyes glazing over. I'm guessing this is an easy one for someone familiar with these coins and hoping one of those people is here. Not sure if it matters, but this one weighs 4 grams and is about an inch across. Thanks in advance! Edited by Digfred 07/13/2021 6:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I do have one from the Qing dynasty, and has similar (but not exact) Manchu script on the reverse and Chinese script on the obverse. I'm sure someone on the forum can help narrow it down a bit...
