Hi,

I have found this Chinese coin but I am unable to identify it. I have been looking online and I have found similar coins to that but not exactly that. I'm not sure whether it is an original or a fake coin. Anybody has any ideas? Dimensions 2cm

Hello

Welcome aboard 😃

The reverse leads to a cash from the Qing dynasty.

Thne on Numisdoc-China, you don't find any emperor with the same name on obverse

So your coin is not technically a fake cause it doesn't correspond to a genuine circulating coin.

it's therefore a charm and you just have to translate the wording on obverse, that is not an easy task …

What is the character before Bao ?

花寶 ?

What is the second character vertically ?

ㄤ,大 ?

The reference website for charms is : Primaltrek.com, you might get the solution here …

Possibly a Malay imitation
