<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2023959, member: 19463&quot;]#1 is a struck cash from 1889-90&nbsp; so I will risk being called a modernist by answering here.&nbsp; Emperor De Zong 1875-1908;&nbsp; Guangzhou, Guangdong.&nbsp; As I read Hartill, the reverse reads &#039;Treasury scales one qian&#039;&nbsp; which is the weight of the coin.&nbsp; Hartill comments that the unusual reverse met Imperial disapproval but was not immediately discontinued.&nbsp;&nbsp; He gives it a rarity 15 which is just one below the most common (16) suggesting it is not going to make you wealthy if it is genuine.&nbsp; Since the issue is struck and this one looks struck, it may well be real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
