    Hi All,

    I came across this coin that I believe is a 1950s-ish Chinese coin, but for some reason I can’t find it in my catalog. Anyone have any information they’d be able to share about this particular piece?

    It weighs 5.3g as well.

    Thank you in advance!

    Since I can't read the coin I will guess : There is more writing on one side than you would normally expect to see and none on the other side, which doesn't seem normal. My guess is this is a good luck token, or maybe a fake coin, but, with myself having so little knowledge of these it could actually be real.

    So let's call on some more knowledgeable people :

    @Stork
    @Seattlite86

    S86 , you know which members would know this coin, don't you?

    The numista link of Bradley Trotter is correct.

    The year is of Redrazzs coin is 18 八十 (八=8, 十=10), 1929.

    NGC is 七十 17, 1928

    The value is 2 Jiao 貳毫 = 20 Fen (or 20 cent)
