I was packing my room in preparation to moving when I found a set of 12 coins. I remember purchasing them a while back but my memory fails me when I try to figure out any information about these coins. I was wondering if anyone knew any information regarding these coins (origin, worth, story behind the coins, etc.)Thanks
They look like fantasy coins. Made to look like old Imperial China issues. Take a magnate to them. If they stick to the magnet, they're obviously not silver.
They are not "coins" in the sense of money but rather commemorative or souvenir coins. The set commemorates the twelve emperors of the Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty (1644-1911) with one "coin" for each emperor. The "coins" are very common and probably worth only a dollar or two each. Gary
