Does anyone else think it's funny that the1796-1820 coin is called a chai Ching, sounds like a cash register.

Hi Marc,
The symbols look fairly simple to me (not as complicated as on the coins).
Perhaps a Feng Shui coin?
Had a bit of a look, but can't find any that match so far.
If we can get a bit better look at the detail, it may help. Can you clean it up any more?
Cheers,
Megsy

Hi Marc
This is the reply I got from my Chinese friend , he thinks its Japanese ...?
In regards the coin, most of Chinese coins are bronze coins . Your coin looks like iron coin , only Han and Qin Dynasty ( about 2000 year ago) have such coin will simple character as following photo shows:

And in the later dynasty , the iron and bronze coin always cast with complicate Chinese character ,but still could identify:

I could not identify the character on your coin, but think it is just part of Chinese character, whether it is a Japanese ancient coin ?
Sorry if the wording sounds a bit odd

Well stone the crows I reckon you're right!StoneTheCrows said:
The reverse that you've shown matches that of a lot of 1700-1800's Chinese coins but none of the ones I found had a similar obverse - you've got the closest I've seen & the reverse does match the general time period. :Y:
Maybe you have to take it to a coin expert and get it appraised
This is a Malay coin, its similar but not the same as your coin.

Damn that is a good match, :clap: :Y:
did they ever counterfeit coins in those days ?
Could it be a rough copy ?
Would that be rare if it was faked ?
