    I think those are more commonly referred to as "chop marks" and if you could get a better photo of both sides, that would be helpful.

    Does the mark look like oriental characters? No not like Charlie Chan, but more like

    It could be some type of official countermark, BBanker, but I can't see any detail at all in the picture. We either need a clearer image or at least a good description of what it looks like.

    Sorry but I already returned it to it's owner. The punch mark looked exactly like someone had taken a round punch and pounded it half way in to the coin; obviously to make sure it was pure silver. No, definitely not Chinese character of any sort; just a round indention.
