Ah yes, I constantly forget that there are coins out there which are older than, say, 100 years. In Denmark for example, coins with holes were first introduced in the 1920s ...

Thanks. I will be honest, I didn't look too hard, (especially since it was oriented the wrong way). I just saw it was one of the two "main" mints in Beijing, the ones it seems 80% of these come from.

 

Aww, come on sir, I thought you Europeans were all about history.

I thought it was just us Americans who were historically illiterate.

 

The depth of knowledge here and willingness to share is remarkable.
Sorry about posting the coins sideways.
That tells you what I know about Chinese coins.

Thanks medoraman and manymore,

Here is a DOA (German East Africa) 10 heller coin. Germany is one of those places where coins with holes were never made for the "home turf" but only for (a few) colonies or occupied territories ...
