I have not been able to locate this chinese 20 Cents. It is silver and about 24 mm in diameter. I think it may be a pattern - but I cannot confirm. The closest was Y104.1 - but no match
I think you've caught Krause in another error. In the 2008 35th Ed. 20th Century Standard Catalog of World Coins the 20¢ Fukien Province silver coins are all described as spelling the provincial name "FU-KIEN", not the variant "FOO-KIEN" seen on your coin. However, in the 1984 13th Ed. of Yeoman's Modern World Coins 1850-1964 the "FOO-KIEN" spelling is clearly shown for the undated silver coins, including the 20¢ Y#104. (Yeoman doesn't list the varieties ID'd by Krause.) The pictures in Gunter Schön's World Coin Catalog are even worse than the ones in Krause, but his description of Schön #10 (Y#104.2) agrees with Yeoman, and disagrees with Krause. about the inscription. Bottom line - I think you have Fukien Province Y#104.2, and Krause describes it incorrectly. The 1985 English edition, translated from the 17th Ed. of Schön's German work, and the 1984 Yeoman edition both value it at $6 VF, $9 XF. Values are only a little higher in my 2008 35th Ed. of Krause. I'm not going to try grading your coin based on the picture you have posted.
Hontonai, I was thinking the same thing. The only question that I have is should the dragon be the same on both? When I compare my Krause 2006 version, the Y104.1 or .2 and my coin, the dragons are not the same. How do yours compare?? I added new pic which shows dragon better
Yes, it really should. The Krause, Yeoman and Schön pictures all have the same dragon, which differs from yours. Either you have an unknown variety, a pattern, or a product of the so-prolific Chinese counterfeiters. Chances of an unknown variety first surfacing more than a century after the last production ended are pretty slim. Patterns don't normally remain unknown for a century or more either. Your coin doesn't have any of the obvious characteristic signs of counterfeits. So the end result is that I give up on trying to correctly attribute your coin.
