Any ideas as to how old it is, where it's from, what it's value is? Thanks Edited by Forum Mom to move from World Coin Grading to World Coins and Commemoratives forum Report this Post to the Staff

Oh, and it this is from you, take care when handling coins - you have finger marks on the second picture :) (wear gloves or at least handle the coin from its edge) Report this Post to the Staff

I think it's Y112.10 - but there are many many varieties of these. Only worth a dollar or so - and although I've been collecting Chinese coins for 20 years I've never come across a fake one of these. Silver coins - yes - they are heavily faked - but not so the bronze ones of this era I think.

But of course, there are some comtemporary counterfeits that circulated and that has its own history as well.
