<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 303671, member: 4703&quot;]<i>Fisher&#039;s Ding</i>, a translation of Ding Fubao&#039;s catalog, is the most comprehensive English language resource I&#039;m aware of for ancient Chinese coins.&nbsp; Of the dozens of pictures in there I only found one with a hole at the top similar to the posted example.&nbsp; Even that one looks less like a 19th Century or later style for pendants than the posted picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Virtually all of the examples in <i>Ding</i> and in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Association catalog section on ancient Chinese coins, have straight angular lines, rather than the soft curves of the subject item.</p><p><br /></p><p>It just doesn&#039;t resemble anything in my reference library.&nbsp; If I had to guess, I would say its a Chinese tourist item or possibly a temple token of some type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
