Hello,

 

Have to say I don't know anything when it comes to cash coins.

From the Image search I could determine that the obverse says Guanxu Tongbao.

 

Is this a real coin and if yes which type?

 

It came to me by the passing of a family relative, she always travelled the world and probably came to it through a past voyage in China.

 

2.34g

25.3mm

 

I have a feeling that it looks maybe not original but as I said I habe no idea.

 

Could someone with some knowledge on these let me know?

 

Thank you,

 

Paul

 Does the bobbly surface not mean it is a token - 

from what I remember reading on this forum in the past.
