Chinese, not real rare and the most common Chinese coin found in this country but I never found any Chinese coin before and it is very old so a bucket lister I can cross off.
A gazillion made, tons of barrels of these things were brought over in the early days by Chinese immigrants and they spread out far and wide but here in Birmingham Ala. not a very common find at all.
Found in a neighbor's lawn across the street from my house so a nice surprise.
1 cash- Qianlong coin Boo-chiowan minting from 1736 to 1795 so minimum 225 years old.
It will hold that place as my oldest coin until I find a more rare American coin to replace it.
