[QUOTE="manymore, post: 774971, member: 17118"]It's actually a Chinese coin issued to mark the founding of the Republic of China. The side with the flags would be considered the obverse side ("heads"). The Chinese written at the top is read right to left as [I]zhong hua min guo[/I] which means "Republic of China". The Chinese at the bottom reads from right to left as [I]kai guo ji nian bi [/I]which translates as "founding of the country commemorative coin". The reverse side has two Chinese characters which read top to bottom as [I]shi wen[/I] which is the denomination "ten [I]wen[/I]" or "ten cash". There is no date on the coin but the Republic of China was founded in 1912. Gary[/QUOTE]
