CPK Posted July 16, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2022 Got this one in a group lot today, and I'm not sure where/how to look for the attribution. I'm guessing 19th century Chinese, but that's as far as I've got. Any help on identification would be greatly appreciated! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were struck rather than cast, unusual for Chinese cash, and it was minted close to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Edit: here's my example!

CPK Posted July 16, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Bingo! Thank you! 👍 I assume it is genuine; I have no reason to suspect it's not unless you see something off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
