[wingmaster]

Went with a friend to a lot they was clearing that an old 1860's house was he found a 1900 IH and I found this I'm thinking chinese, does anyone know how old it is. I've looked at some sites but to many look to close for me to tell for sure exactly. Thanks for looking and HH.

hi there,

the coin is from the qing dynasty.

the era is Emperor Kang Xi, the first emperor.

let me roughly translate the meaning of the words on the coin.

top: Kang
bottom: Xi
Left: circulated
Right: coin

i might be wrong in the translation of the left and right words.

cheers
