Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 3:27 pm China Szechuan Province, could be anywhere from 5 to 100 cash depending on size (I cannot read the characters in the pic). This style was made around 1912 to 1914, the coin does not have a date as we know it. Report this Post to the Staff

manymore Valued Member United States 347 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 9:40 pm As already stated, this copper coin was produced in Sichuan (Szechuan) Province. If you look at the very bottom of the coin as shown in the first (top) image, the denomination is written in Chinese as 50 wen (cash). In the second image, the date is written at the lower left of the coin as "the yuan (first) year of the Republic of China" which would be the year 1912. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
