[QUOTE="LaCointessa, post: 2727108, member: 87186"]HAPPY BIRTHDAY! All I can say about this coin is that my father found it one evening while walking his dog. He found lots of coins while doing that but this is the most interesting one. I think it may be a coin part of a very modern feng shui decoration made to look like it came from some long ago Asian dynasty. I have not found anything exactly like it on line but I only attempt to research it once in a while and never have more than an hour to spend on research at a time. The closest coins I have come across were Korean. It weighs 8 grams and inside the hole and around the rim there are seams as if the obverse and reverse sides were joined. I read that authentic Asian dynastic coins would have been produced in a way as to show a seam. Anyway, it reminds me of the top part of your key coin which is outrageously gorgeous!! Enjoy your day with lots of cool gifts! BTW, this was a wonderful idea for a thread. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the historical information of those with knowledge who posted. And to think I hated history as a kid. I can not get over how horrible some teachers are and how naturally talented and effective are others.
