<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SorenCoins, post: 25843467, member: 73708&quot;]Hey all!</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought these two Emperor Kangxi Chinese 1 Cash coins at my LCS. I&#039;ve been trying to identify them using David Hartill&#039;s <i>Cast Chinese Coins.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Both of these appear to be Hartill #22.119, from Jiangning (Nanking) with the Manchu mint name on the left and the Chinese mint name on the right. The Chinese characters look identical, but the Manchu characters are very different. I know there is variation between Hartill varieties since so many coins were made, but this seems pretty drastic to the point where I&#039;m questioning if it&#039;s the same character. One of the coins (the one on the right in the side-by-side photos) has a Manchu character that looks just like what is depicted in Hartill&#039;s book and all images of 22.119 I&#039;ve seen online. The other has a much shorter and stubbier version of the same or a similar-looking character. Let me know what you all think!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1647666[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1647665[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1647668[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1647669[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1647670[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
