Vajdadavidt5 New Member Hungary 4 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 11:00 am I tried to identify this coin for a while but with no success. I hope someone with a better and deeper knowledge would be able to identify it. Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 1:07 pm Some attributes resemble what is known as a "copy coin". Poorly made examples of ancient Chinese Cash. The color is way too much. The blue does exist on copy coins, but doesn't cover the whole coin. The characters are awfully ragged and might be a different script apart from regular. I have 50 or so coins like this, but better. Only 5 out of the 50 were so bad they could not be correctly identified. I'm eager to see what others have to say. I start out by guessing what it is supposed to be? Then start to think about Chun Hua YB cursive? Edited by Albert 10/01/2022 1:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

However, this coin is iron and uniface. @vaj, can you please post the weight, diameter, and whether this piece coin is attracted to a magnet? Thx.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 5:39 pm Copy coins are generally smaller than normal and thin. Script looks grass or cursive. What might supposed to be Boo doesn't belong. Some of mine are nonsensical or are so poor there's no correct indentity. This could be another? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 11:46 pm On the reverse is a very crudely rendered Manchu mint-name inscription, so it's date is Qing Dynasty or later, rather than Song.But the obverse may be copying a Song inscription, or may just be a random good-fortune phrase unrelated to any actual coin. 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

onethindime New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/04/2022 10:28 pm It looks like an old Chinese cash imitation, most likely from Java or other areas of modern Indonesia. These usually circulated at a discount to the real ones brought by merchants. The exact age and origin would be hard to track down, but I don't believe it's modern. They are actually less common than authentic cash coins, at least in the US. Report this Post to the Staff
