From what I can find online it's a Chinese cash coin....but other than that I'm drawing a blank on dates, provinces and value etc. Anyone able to sate the youngsters curiosity?

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 04/07/2022 3:51 pm I think this is a modern copy of a Shih Tsu cash coin (authentic ones date from 1644-1661). The writing style is chunky, crude, and does not look authentic to me. The mintmark also does not match common ones for this coin. However, if someone more expert in Chinese coins has seen an authentic one that looks like this, I will defer to them. Here's a photo of an authentic one. http://www.calgarycoin.com/referenc...#shun%20chih Edited by Seeker55 04/07/2022 3:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 04/07/2022 7:08 pm Agree; it's a replica, not a genuine coin. Replica coins like this are often made for use in "Feng Shui" good luck amulets and charms. 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
