Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 05/15/2011 11:06 pm Hello and welcome. What you've got is not an actual coin (made for use as money), but a medallion or charm of some sort. A bigger pic, of both sides, might let us give more information. 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

The inscription on the top image reads sheng zhi pai jin which translates as "Imperial edict tablet of gold". The inscription on the bottom image is zhao cai jin bao which means "Money and treasures will be plentiful". Both sides show images of a dragon ("4-claw" not the imperial "5-claw") on the right and phoenix on the left with what appears to be a "flaming pearl" at the very top.
