[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1609120, member: 26302"]Calgarycoin.com has a good section on identifying Chinese cash coins. I use Hartill's book on Cast Chinese Coins. What is interesting to me at least is how the obverse is written in Chinese, but the reverse is written in Manchu. Manchu was the language of the foreign rulers who ruled China in the Ching dynasty. Must have a tremendous affront to the ethnic Chinese to have the foreign rulers names on their coins.
