The term you're after is "counterstruck" - when a coin is treated as if it were a blank planchet, and struck with a different coin design. There are some counterstrikes in the East Asian series from this tme period, but I'm not seeing anything on this coin that indicates it might be a counterstrike. The faint, barely visible details around the dragon are supposed to be there on this design; they've simply disappeared due to an unfortunate combination of worn dies, weak strike and wear from circulation. Quote: Sap's the expert here on these, but I can tell you it's from Hubei Province I don't know when I became "the expert". All I've got is Krause. But it looks like you're right: Chinese Empire, Hupeh province (Hubei in the modern Chinese westernization), 10 cash. The details are too worn, but the five-petalled central flower and the presence of a hyphen after "HU" means it has to be either KM/Y 120a.4 or 120a.6 - 120a.4 has typographical errors in the word "province", which sadly is completely missing from this coin. Either way, it's not particularly scarce or valuable. The coin is undated; Krause lists the issue date at sometime in the period 1902-1905. 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
