The reverse is upside down. It appears to be Y# 120a.10. Worth maybe $5.00.

 

Im wondering if its another one of those counterfeited, Chinese counterfeit coins.
On a serious note. do we know what year it is?

 

I don't see a date and do not have Krause with me, but the obverse (second picture) shows it to be Kuang-hsu, which means it is pre-1909.

 

I don't believe that its a counterfeit. Sorry that I forgot to mention it was minted between 1902-1905.

 

Hi all, I don;t think it can be a counterfeit as this coin has been sitting away in storage for over 59 years plus. thank you everyone for your help once again.

The calligraphy looks good.

Coins of that era were not normally dated, although some of the earlier Imperial coins were dated on the cyclical calendar, which requires at least three graduate degrees to fully understand!
