Help me identify my coin by my paint drawing

7 posts
So my phone is dead like a doornail. I decided I would paint draw my coin, as best I could. Forgive my un artistic experience. I was not able to get a lot of the angles, but I believe this will work fine I think. This coin is teal colored on front, and worn like crazy on back, no symbols on back at all. Dia is 31.8mm as stated in picture. Can you identify this coin?



here is a color version just for kicks.

If it is a genuine one , it looks like a FU Chang Zhong Bao from state of Qi 1130-37 which was a puppet regime during the Tartar dynasties.

A rare one.

 Yes - on this page it agrees with Zhong Bao (heavy currency) ...

 For comparison ...


 Also on that page it says 'the reverse of most coins before the Qing was blank' then however much the front is worn then the same amount of wear would be on the back, so any characters that may have been on the back would still be visible, which as they are not then there may not have been any. Not that I know what I'm talking about.  (8

Thanks for info guys, now that I am up and awake. I have taken a picture with my fully charged phone. Can you please check the real picture, and: Tell me how I did on paint drawing vs real thing? As well, is it the same coin you thought it was from paint drawing? I did not photo back because there is nothing on it, very little color other than wear.

Thank you. If I wanted to find info on this coin on say google, what would I type in? I tried "Fu Chang Zhong Bao coin" "Tartar Dynasty coin" "1130 Chinese coin" and had little results. Is there a numista entry for it?
