<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 3498005, member: 81887"]Agree that both are not original coins. Top one has an unusual obverse of Qianlong (1736-95) with "yuan bao" (first or original coin) rather than the usual "tong bao" (current coin), reverse indicates a large multiple cash of the sort issued by Xianfeng (1851-1861) during the economic crisis of the Taiping Rebellion. I don't see anything like it in Hartill (unless it's just too early in the morning <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":dead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) so, fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom one doesn't look much like any real coin.
