Chinese cash coin

[NGE]

I found this a few years ago, and since I've been posting on T-Net, I've noticed that there are some experts here that can tell me what it is and what they are worth. Well, have at it y'all......NGE

Found it! Thank you PBK......NGE During the Kuang-hsu period the first machine made cash coins of China were struck. They were struck in a very yellow brass, and tend to be very well made, but do not appear to have been too popular as they are normally seen with very little wear on them, showing they did not circulate widely. Most were made in the Kwangtung province, and were probably first struck in 1889.




it is exactly the same as mine
