A nice spread of emperors with no emperor/mint duplication. #1: the Kang Xi emperor (1662-1722), Revenue mint. KM# 311.1 or variant thereof. #2: the Qian Long emperor (1735-1796), Revenue mint. KM# 387.1 #3: the Dao Guang emperor (1820-1850), Works mint. KM/C# 2-3 #4: the Jia Qing emperor (1796-1820), Chi mint, Chihli province. KM# 465 #5: the Dao Guang emperor (1820-1850), Revenue mint. KM/C# 1-3 #6: the Xian Feng emperor (1850-1861), Works mint. KM/C# 2-4.1 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 09/19/2011 05:54 am Coins 1 and 3 have the obverses upside down- look for the "cowrie shell" to be at the bottom of the left character, and, almost always, the big box, with the line at the bottom, to be at the right. On a few issues, this will move to the bottom. Usually, top and bottom characters will identify the Reign title of the ruler. The reverses are all correct- the semicircles are to the left.
