Just a coin I bought a while ago at my local collector's store. The markings are in a language that I can't read, and I have no idea what language or where they are from. There's also no years marked on it, or that I can read. I just want to know what it is, and perhaps how much it's worth. Much obliged, folks.
I think Ching Dynasty. However, I do not know if it is authentic. Try posting in the World and Ancient Coins sub forum.
It is a Kang Hsi Tung Bao 1662-1723AD. Zhang mint mark on reverse short for Zhangzhou mint, Fujian mint. FD-2271 catalogs VF $2 in David Jen's Chinese Cash. Pretty sure it's Authentic as it is relatively common. I'd sell these for under $5. They fun, large, inexpensive coins. Certain mint marks worth more than others ie Taiwan province mint which is rare.
