Qing Coins

7 posts
Got my hands on coins from the Qing Dynasty and the ROC period. Can someone see if these are real? I am a Chinese speaker, but I cannot identify these coins other than read them.

Coin 1



Yunnan Coin



ROC Coin

Welcome to Numista!

I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on authenticity (hopefully others will), but can identify the first two coins

For the first one

1896 China's Ching Dynasty Silver Dollar Coin minted by Pei Yang Arsenal in Ta Tsing 22nd Year of Kwang Hsu. Obverse: value in Chinese characters “壹圆” (one yuan) in central circle, encircled with “大清光绪二十二年北洋机器局造” and some Manchu script. ( meaning Pei Yang Arsenal in Twenty-second Year of Kuang Hsu); Reverse: dragon seated with English TWENTY SECOND YEAR OF KUANG HSU; PEI YANG ARSENAL.1896年大清光绪二十二年北洋机器局造壹圆银币

For the second coin

China empire, Yunnan province, Dollar, .900 silver, ND (1908-1911), Y#260, weight 26.8 g

Was unable to locate the third (ROC) coin.

I hope this at least makes a start and gives some help.

If a coin is rare and valuable, they are forged

I am not saying yours are fake
Non est totum quod splendet ut aurum
Rijkdom bestaat niet uit het hebben van veel bezittingen, maar in het hebben van weinig behoeften
Unfortunately I believe all three of your coins are fake
It also depends where you got them and for what price.
Here I pay €4 or €5 for nice replicas like yours

​I got them from a Chinese friend. I paid $30 for all three of them, so it lines up.
Modern fakes unfortunately
