<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 2519513, member: 81887"]Cool find! In all your photos, the left side shows the reverse (which gives the mintmark in Manchurian script) while the right side is the obverse, which lists standard Chinese characters for the emperor's reign title (naming conventions for Chinese emperors get... complicated.) Your obverses are rotated at odd angles, but I can make out all the reign titles:</p><p><br /></p><p>A. Daoguang (1821-1851)</p><p>B. Qianlong (1735-1796)</p><p>C. Qianlong</p><p>D. Kangxi (1661-1722)</p><p>E. Qianlong</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't have time to figure out the mint marks right now (need to get to work), but unless there's a rare mint your coins have very little value- maybe a couple of bucks for the Kangxi, less for the others. Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
