Chinese Coin

7 berichten
Need some help identifying this little bugger.  Approximately 16mm.  Metal is brass (I think.)  Very thin, 2mm-ish.  Definitely a dragon on the obverse, but no characters.

This is a 1 Cash from the Chinese Empire, 1908.

These are well sought after. I wish I had one myself.  :|

Thanks Kenny.  Is this the one here: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21071.html?
Any clue what mint it's from?  The symbol in the middle doesn't really look like any of the characters listed (to me at least.)
Got this one in a box with 456 friends from an antique mall.

What do you think?

It's the blank one.

Honestly, it didn't even cross my mind (my brain shuts down a little on the weekend.)  Thanks.

It's fine. I probably wouldn't have known if I couldn't read traditional.  :)

You're really lucky to own that piece.

This is a really (expensive) popular piece in China (only China, less expensive outside).

Faked quite a bit. Although should be real, the strikings are nice.

On the coin, the above characters are read right-left.
