✅ SOLVED Asking Help With a Chinese (?) Coin or Token

Subterranean · Jun 18, 2015

Hello Fellow T-Netters,

Can anyone enlighten me on the age, dynasty, usage of this coin or token, please? I dug it in one of my favorite schoolyard lawns. It appears to have been worn as a pendant or on a keychain. Thanks in advance for any help! Sub 8-)

Thanks a million, Bigfoot1, I found it in the reference, it is a cash coin from the reign of Emporer Shih Tsu, AD 1644-1661, and actually a fourth series coin, dating it to 1661. This is definitely my oldest coin yet! This one is solved. Sub 8-)

Congrats on being able to identify it! Many times they are too worn.
