6 posts • viewed 71 times

Hello

 

.259 oz  weight

28.1 mm circumference 

1.5 mm thickness

 

I am trying to classify this coin and the closest I can find is this:

 

20 Cash - Guangxu (With minting authority; brass) - Empire of China – Numista

 

Yet the circumference is not the same and the character in the middle on the obverse is close but not just like the Yunnan mint. 

I am inclined to say this is a counterfeit.

 

 What say all of Ye?

 

Thank you , Chuck

The one in your link could never be it since it says 20 cash while yours is a 10 cash:

 

Hi,

 

Thank you kindly! I should have looked closer. That seems to be it!

Thank you. Nothing makes you feel more like a fool then trying to classify these Chinese coins. 😑

Hahaha, don't worry, I think most of us have that feeling.
