Hi I have recently inherited some coins and would very much like to learn what the symbols are on these 2 Qing dynasty (?) coins please, to gain an insight into their history? Many thanks in advance.
Qing Dynasty (1680s-90s) Kang Xi, 康熙 Board of Revenue Obv: 康熈通寶, Kang Xi Tong Bao Rev: Boo Chiowan left Hartill 22.88 (if it is a one dot Tong, two dot whould be 22.87), right Hartill 22.89
Hi Everyone, I have received few Qing dynasty coins but unable to recognize enough. Kindly help me to know more about the coins I added to my collection recently. The pictures are attached below for reference.. Regards, Amitav
The first cash coin is Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qian Long (Gao Zong) Mint: Hangzhou, Zhejiang Obv: Qian Long Tong Bao - 乾 隆 通 寶 Rev: Boo Je Year: 1752-1780 Ref: Hartill 22.351 Protruding head, one dot Tong Second is from Qing Dynasty, Emperor Guang Xu 光緒元寶 Guang Xu Yuan Bao Possibly (it's too worn) like mine, at least I can read 部 (Size ??, mine is 32.3 mm) Minted in Wuchang (1917-1920), with old dies from Tianjin. Third is a 大清銅幣 (TAI-CHING-TI-KUO) Big Qing Copper Coin from Anhui Province similar to this one, but it's to worn to be sure: https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=12978
Thank you my friend for helping to know the coins better. My phone camera is not that good but the coins in reality are not in real bad condition. I also do have few Song Dynasty coins but they are in pretty bad shape but trying to preserve. Are the above coins in picture, in these condition still have any value for collectors in the world market? For me,I believe coinage of China has great heritage like Indian coinage and other world coinage. Regards, Amitav Paul.
