Waredu Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 01:24 am They appear to be Chinese cash coins. However, I can't really tell more than that from the pictures. Not sure about the authenticity either. Higher detail closeups would help. Report this Post to the Staff

Waredu Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 02:13 am Try googling "Chinese cash coin identification". Since you have the coin in hand, you'll be able to match up the pictographs and determine which ones you have. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 03:51 am The top one is a Chinese "cash" coin, from the reign of the Guangxu Emperor (1875-1908), the second-last Emperor of China. The side with just two characters is the mint-name, in Manchu script: yours appears to be Anhui (Anhewi) Province mint. The second item is not a coin; Chinese cash coins didn't have pictures on the other side, like this one does. It will be a charm or amulet of some 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
14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 08:12 am Sap ID'ed them! All I can add is that the obverse in the top photo is oriented upside down. It probably looks OK that way to Sap being down under there in Australia! :0) The reverse just needs a 90 degree turn clockwise to be oriented correctly. Report this Post to the Staff

yodogs New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 12:39 pm so, the question is, is the top one authentic Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 12:48 pm The top one is authentic, but isn't worth a whole lot because these were minted in the billions, and a base metal. You can usually find them in 25c junk boxes. Report this Post to the Staff
