<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1159999, member: 23368&quot;]And then you have this milled brass coin , also with a round hole. It was one of the last minted cash coins in China. It was made in the years 1906-1908, just before the Chinese modernized their coinage in 1911. It is only 16mm in diameter and weighs just 1.3 grams. The obverse reads Kuang-Hsu Tung-Pao, the reverse is written in Manchu style&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [ATTACH]120401.vB[/ATTACH]&nbsp; &nbsp; [ATTACH]120402.vB[/ATTACH] and&nbsp;&nbsp; reads Boo-Guwang. The Yuan and this coin represent two coins at the opposite ends of China&#039;s history with a shared similarity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
