Another Chinese coin

7 posts
So I am perplexed on this one, man these are so hard to identify for me. The obv looks like a coin produced under emperor Sheng Tsu from 1662-1722. The only issue is the Rev does not have a "Boo" symbol. It looks like an 8 with an extra circle on top.

Any help is appreciated. First picture is upside down sorry.

The coin is very worn. I am open to any suggestions you have. I am taking these with a cell phone camera. 8 MP, and I take around 25 at different angles, different heights, and with and without flash, I then pick the best out of the ones I took.

You need to check the settings of your phone, and choose macro mode.
For a 8mpx camera, the photos should be nice.

what does macro mode do? I got this phone second hand, so no manual :(


Thank you Kg, I have no idea how you found it, because I went through the entire china section in my Krause book, and didn't see anything, and went to like 5 websites too.

I appreciate the time it took to help me out@!

World Coins is a joke when it comes to cash coins, there are too many unlisted coins and especially varieties. Try looking through Numista from now on, and try to recognize all the Qing emperors.
