[QUOTE="TuckHard, post: 8347400, member: 102653"]Everyone is correct, this is from Korea, but some details are incorrect. I am using [I]Cast Korea Coins and Charms [/I]by Wybrand Op den Velde and David Hartill for a reference here. Hopefully I have this ID'd correctly. Your coin is dated 1883; it's reference number is [B]21.1B.3[/B]. The obverse reads "Sang Pyong Tong Bo" from top-bottom-right-left. The reverse reads "Chon Tang O, 3". The [I]Chon [/I]is the mint, known as Chonhwanguk or the Central Government Mint. It was located in Seoul.
