<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 358317, member: 4703&quot;]The first one does not have a Republic Year date, so I&#039;m assuming it is an Imperial Provincial issue from the late 19th Century or roughly the first decade of the 20th.&nbsp; I have so far been unsuccessful in locating it in either the 19th or 20th century Krause volumes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is a 5.3g .820 silver 20¢ from Kiangnan province.&nbsp; There were 17 varieties of Y#143 minted by the tens of millions from 1898 through 1905, dated in the Chinese Cyclical calendar.&nbsp; An undated but otherwise similar Y#147 was produced with a 2,320,000 mintage in 1911.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures in Krause are not clear enough for me to pin down which variety you have, and I can&#039;t read the cyclical dates.&nbsp; If someone who can checks this out, he/she will either be able to identify it as the dateless Y#147, or narrow down the possibilities based on the coin&#039;s date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Value?&nbsp; At least $5, probably less than $125.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
