rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 10:54 am I can't seem to find this Emperor in my Krause catalog. Could someone please help. Also, is there a denomination on these coins? I have one other but I think I have it figured out. Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Edited by rikcando 08/24/2010 10:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 6:24 pm Quote: Also, is there a denomination on these coins? The denomination is "1 cash", also known as a "wen" in Chinese. When the silver dollar was adopted by the Empire as an official currency unit in the mid-1800s, the cash was officially pegged to the dollar at 1000:1, making the cash worth 1/10th of a cent. 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
