1st Chinese Coin.

[user 7222]

I found my 1st Chinese coin yesterday. Dug it out of the creek bed out by Dunolly. It's in pretty bad shape. I won't be able to look it up for research.

Symbols are about unreadable. Anyone know what years they were common?

Need better pics to get an ID.

The age of the Chinese coins found in Oz can range over several hundred years, so might be a little hard to come to a definite date, era or dynasty for a damaged coin. Still a nice goldfields momento.

Even under a magnifying glass, it's unreadable. Unfortunately.
