I posted this with my finds yesterday, and was told that it is a chinese cash coin. But how much cash and when was used? I appreciate any help you can give me. HH JYD

Your coin has an unusual shaped center hole. It may be a token. When i get more time I will search the Zeno database. http://www.zeno.ru/

Your coin is cool....While most Chinese cash coins are very old that does not always add up to be a valuable find. Not trying to burst your bubble....The were minted sometimes for decades and millions were made.....untold numbers of these coins were brought to America around the change of the century with the Chinese immigrants......I have only dug up one but it's one of my oldest and favorite finds

A friend sent me an e-mail identifying your coin. It appears to be an altered (rounded center) actual Chinese Cash Coin. Its very old but not much value. 1736-1795.

"Ch'ien Lung T'ung Pao is the most common standard cash in the history of the Chinese coinage."
