<p>[QUOTE="Poetheraven1, post: 1123282, member: 27225"]OH Well, I expected nothing from a junk box. Looking over the Chinese cash coins of 1700's and 1800's, I find several that look very similar in Design, so I guess the question as to whether its chinese or decoration is answered. It appears to be chinese language. However, none of the coins is an exact match, the problem being the bottom writing which I was unable to match to anything. And as you so aptly pointed out, having the reverse missing makes it a moot point. Anyway, its worthless whatever it is. Maybe someone was trying to make a counterfeit, although I believe the suggestion that perhaps it was attached to something is probably the right answer for the mess on the reverse which appears to be some sort of adhesive...Thanks for all your input...I'll just put it aside for awhile until I decide what to do with it......Regards, Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
