Surely there's no collector value in them, but they're very nice objects that are well made and offered some real educational value since I began looking up information about old Chinese coins to learn more about them.
One of the websites I enjoy reading is Ancient Chinese Charms and Coins, which I find very interesting, even fascinating, and now I have an increased interest in old Chinese coins, so hope to someday have genuine ancient Chinese coins in my collection. .
The three coins are, from left to right, kang xi tong bao (康熙通宝) , qian long tong bao (乾隆通宝). & yong zheng tong bao (雍正通宝)
Here's the reverse side of these Chinese brass coins, which is different than what's found on actual genuine Chinese coins, which are typically made out of bronze, not brass

ReplyDeletei have this
ReplyDeleteI have to
ReplyDeleteI have one it used to be all black when I found so I polished it and it came out brass but I'm not sure how to tell what year it was made I know it's old because the guy that had it was ww2 vet and he had a few even the real small ones and a bunch of older coins some from the late 1800s from all the different places he traveled to
ReplyDeleteI have this too...it's really black I don't know it's original or not!almost same like the middle one and I don't recollect how I came to possession of it though..
