<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ls8driver, post: 605939, member: 15006&quot;]A bit more ID on these coins, based on Hartill&#039;s Cast Chinese Coins (much better than Krause)</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin #1:</p><p>Jia Qing Tong bao 1 cash, cast brass. 1798-1802.

After 1726, there were 4 branches (North, South, East and West). These and the Iron Coin Mint all used the Boo Chiowan reverse, with minor differences in both obverse and reverse to indicate the branch of production. These differences were known as privy marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
