The coin in the hand is one in a series of coins commemorating the "Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty". Your coin commemorates the Yongzheng Emperor. These are not official coins but rather souvenirs and do not circulate as money. They are very common and can be bought for a dollar or two. The other coin was struck in Guizhou Province in 1888. It is known as the Guizhou (Kweichow) Qian Bao (Chien Pao) "silver cake" coin. An example of an authentic coin may be seen at this Chinese website. These coins are extremely rare and sell for several hundred thousand dollars. Unfortunately, your coin is a poorly-made fake and can be bought for a dollar or two. Gary
