Hello everyone! I have this chinese coin which i am quite unsure of. The reason why is because i haven’t been able to find anything really similar at all in the catalouge. The weight is 3,9 grams and the diameter is 25,38 mm. Thanks in advance and good luck!

:)

Nice find !

It's a degenerated design evocating Dao-Guang Boo Yuwan.

Probably not from Mainland China but from expatriate colonies more specifically in the Malay Archipelago, probably made in tin.

Then these  degenerated types are not so well documented. I'll take a look, but without any guarantee of results.

Thank you Frenchlover! So that was why i had issues finding it in the catalouge.

Theree were also some private issues from Annam …

A good source for identifying this coin is Zeno.ru, but vast is the Southeast Asia, so a great deal of patience and tenacity to identify it you'll need. 

But as the Chinese proverb says: With time and patience, mulberry leaves become silk.

Thank you for all of the help! I’ve looked through a lot of search results now with no success, so i’ll continue tomorrow and i’ll make a post if i manage to find it.

I believe i found what it is! I didn’t manage to find an exact match but the ones i found are extremly similar with only slightly different details. What i think it is is a ritual token imitating cash! These are ones on zeno that almost match mine.

Yo, It's a perfect match !

You're a champion in the Zeno search that is so difficult :)

Your token deserves a Numista file !

Thank you, what i did to find it was to put 

”imitation” in the title part of the filters, which narrowed it down to a little over a hundred search results. Regarding putting it in numista, should i make a request to put it under an unspecified ruling authority under indonesian states as a spiritual token as it says on zeno? Since I haven’t created any new pages yet (except for one that has had appeal status since october) i’m quite unfamiliar with it.

:)

I think it's OK

As there is no referee for indon,esia, states tokens, the best is to warn @ZacUK that there will be a new entry. Please include in comments the Zeno link.

I’ve finished it and put in a request for its creation in maririme southeast asia.
