<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zenmonk, post: 647916, member: 19808&quot;]hi! Texguy, I am a Chinese calligraphy artist and happen to see your posting and decide to help out because I also have a few coins in my collection of the same period. Your coin image indicates it&#039;s imperial coin of the second last emperor Guang Xu (old spelling Kwuang Ksu), probably struck between 1905--10, of the province of Gang Su (or Kang su), in Northwest China. The obverse side reads &quot;Silver coin of Guang Xu (reign), Gang Su province.&quot; But I can not tell if it&#039;s real or counterfeit by the picture alone. The real coin weighs around 26-27 grams. If you are nearby a large public university, you may find quite a few coin catalog books that would have info on Chinese dragon coins, i.e. &quot;A Catalog of Modern World Coins, by R.S. Yeoman (6th Ed.), 1964. Good luck. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Daniel Zheng[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
