Chinese Cast Coin I.D.

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Found a site which helped me, (I think).

Came across this coin some years back
in the Chicago area.







Just now dug it out of a box and tried I.D.

Went :
http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/chinaid.htm#square hole

They took me through the steps to I.D. it
Think it is a Y-190
1875-1908 or so................

Hope someone can use the site if they come across Chinese coins.

all have a good un..........

Those chinese coins aren't valuable but they sure are nice to collect...makes you wonder all the things that one coin was used to buy
