<p>[QUOTE="cush66, post: 23491, member: 1401"]Hybrid: First off let me say that you sure pick a country that has a zillion coins and characters LOL!!!. Second I am not a collector of Chinese coins but I have a bunch and I kinda like the challenge of figuring them out, and I am not even close to being a knowledgeable person in that area. Third, by luck you have an easy one to ID so here goes nothing hehheh:</p><p>As Roy said you have a Chinese cash coin. It is considered a "cast" coin because they made it in sand casts. In the arena of cast coins, you have what is considered a modern. Modern is defined as Ching Dynasty AD 1644 - 1911. Any cast after 1644 is considered modern LOL!!! The two characters on the reverse proves that. There are two characters on the reverse. The one on the left is a Manchurian "boo" and only seen on Ching Dynasty cash. The one on the right is the mint. It is called "boo je" Chekiang mint. The obverse is Emperor Shih Tsung AD 1723 - 1735. The reign title is Yung Cheng, 1723 - 1735. In Fine it is worth $2.50. In Very Fine it is $4.50. I wish the ones I have were as easy as this one LOL!!! Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
