China cash coin? [solved]

5 posts • viewed 68 times

I recently purchased and old coin from a friend who simply told me it was an old Chinese cash coin.

I have spent days on the internet trying to get more information about it, and have found nothing.

I have gone through the entire Numista “China” set of photos and can't find it.

I did find the attached photo in an old reddit chat which is exactly my coin, but it had no caption or details.

The coin is about 17mm and made of bronze, I believe.

Can anybody help me date and place this coin more firmly?

Is it even Chinese?

Thanks!

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

 

Please note that this is an automatic message. Feel free to ignore if it is not relevant.

You could either search with pictures, one per side cropped or with the text (if you can't type Chinese something like Google Translate's handwriting feature can help you).

 

Long story short your coin is this one
