<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 3537252, member: 81887&quot;][USER=103852]@Gerald Gosselin[/USER] : Your son is correct, it is Chinese and from the Qing dynasty.&nbsp; More specifically, it is from the reign of emperor Ren Zong, who used the reign title Jiaqing (1796-1820), your coin is from the Board of Works mint in Beijing.&nbsp; Top photo is the reverse, showing the mintmark (in Manchu script) and should be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.&nbsp; Bottom photo is the obverse, giving the standard legend (read top-bottom-right-left) of Jia Qing tong bao (Jiaqing current coin), and it should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise to read properly.&nbsp; Not worth much, maybe a dollar or so- most Qing dynasty cash were issued in huge quantities and are still common- but pretty cool as a genuine 200 year old coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
