shanxi Posted October 7, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Q for Qing Dynasty Cgina, Qing Dynasty Emperor: Kang Xi, 康熙 Lohan Cash Board of Revenue Obv: 康熙通寶, Kāng Xī Tōng Bǎo Rev: Boo Chiowan Year: 1713 Material: AE, 4.55g, 26mm Literature: Hartill 22.91, p1443 Note: This coin was cast to commemorate Kang Xi's 60th birthday. The spelling of the Xi differs from all other Kang Xi coins due to the missing dash on the left. The veneration of the emperor, the connection to his birthday and the rumor that the coins should contain gold, led to the fact that the actually simple cash coins got amulet character, and were carried as such until the 20th century.
