    Found this in a bulk lot, liked the look of it but have no clue what it is. I posted two others a little while back and got an answer but this one doesnt have any of the same marks. Any information would help.

    It looks like a China Cash, but I'm not sure, it could be another kind of value. I'm sure it's from China.

    Modern copy, unfortunately. It's imitating a Chinese coin of the Jia Qing emperor (1796-1820). I think the mintmark is supposed to be Board of Revenue, but the script is so poor it's hard to be sure. The original is common and only worth a couple of dollars.
