My friend Lucky found a 1846 Haiti coin and I found this Chinese coin in the same field, I am thinking around the same era.

Your Chinese coin seems to have an extra letter?

I've found 4 of those, not the same exact coin, but Chinese cash coins. Very cool, they are old and I like old coins. If they could talk.....

It is stated that when these coins came to the US they were in excess of 100 years old. Plantation Chinese workers used to play a card game on the ground involving these coins and many were lost this way!

I like that information, make sense
thanks
thanks
Always nice to find something "different". Nice find!
I have found a number of these in the past. Some from fields and some from old yards. There are many different varieties depending on era or Chinese province.
I once found a catch of 80 of these coins in the backyard of an 18th century house here in Ct. It was a nice surprise!
From what I understand many of these coins were also used as decorations on things like baskets and such.
Congrats! Bruce

Bruce thanks for your knowledge , I am thinking early 1800 on this coin??
I'm really no expert. There are resources on line or world coin books to help. The catch I found had characters on one side only. A world coin authority told me they were mid 1700's to very early 1800's. First pic is a page of info that was given to me. 2nd pic is one of the coins I found in the past.
Should be fun to research. Bruce
