Hopefully, one of our experts can identify this coin, found in a bag of miscellaneous foreign (as mentioned in another thread found elsewhere on the board).
I know it's a Chinese cash coin, but dates and Emperors on these things always confuse me. I know we have some experts, though, so to them I turn...
I've only recently started to try to ID these coins. Here is a link to my favorite Cash coin ID site so far. It explains IDing the emperor via the symbols. There is even a mint-mark section, so you can see what the symbols on the other side of the coin mean. If there are better online resources, I'd like to know them...
Of course, once you ID the emperor, wikipedia is always fun...
