HH,
I did some more surfing and found another site. Found it(coin) again,,same coin as above link,,,, different site, but this site shows the same backmark I have.
Chinese coins are pain,,from what I can tell, there is no exact date. But the back mark/ mintmark does tell you the timeline .
This coin is from 1821-1850

I have found other of these chinese coins in the past. They are stashed in a box upstairs. The next time I want a head ache I'll go get them and try to figure out what they are.

lol. they ARE dated in a fashion. Chinese coins give the name of the emperor and/or dynasty in power when the coin was minted. Of course, you have to be able to read Chinese.....
