echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/01/2010 4:33 pm , Welcome to the community #1 is Japanese from the kameda mint circa 1668. #2 is Chinese Emperor Kang Xi 1661-1722, Board of Revenue mint Bejing. #3 is Chinese Emperor Ch'ien Lung 1736-1795, Board of Revenue mint Bejing. #4 appears to be some type of token. #5 I'm still trying to find this one.

DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 09/01/2010 8:46 pm I believe #5 is a charm. The bottom picture reads tian xia tai ping. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 09/02/2010 04:19 am #4: you've posted the same pic twice. What's on the other side? #5: are the last two pics two different coins, or two sides of the same coin? The bottom pic, with the inscription DCH mentions, is derived from the "palace coins" of the 19th century; the only character on the other side I've managed to decode is the right one, "fu", meaning wealthy (which typically appears on charms of this kind). 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

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 09/03/2010 09:26 am Number 5 is a coronation type issue- a charm. The inscription refers to Under Heaven Great Peace (Tai Ping- Great Peace- also the name of a huge rebellion that killed about 20 million people ending in 1865). The other side refers to the new emperor's reign title- I will be checking Vietnamese Kings for that title- my mind is a bank at the moment. Report this Post to the Staff
coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 09/08/2010 1:49 pm It took me a while, and I was wrong. The title is "Ch'ang-Ming-Fu Kwei" (t-b-r-l), and it means, according to Schjoth, "Long Life Wealth and Honours". (this is the first photo, which looks brass. The second one was correct.(the darker looking one). It is a charm, and the second inscription was typically used on coronation issues. Report this Post to the Staff
