  6. Looks like it's a Hungarian 15 Krajczar from 1747. It's a little more than 1/10toz silver content. Neither rare nor valuable, but most certainly a very nice find. It looks like it was used as a piece of jewelry or adornment. Possibly it was somebody's good luck charm. As for value or pricing, I wouldn't be able to tell as all of my refernces in pricing are way outdated. I would guess up to $10 in the condition it is in.
  7. I have personally never heard of any controversy regarding the effigy of the reformed coinage. The government ordered the reform of coinage in 1935 which took affect in 1936. The other coinage you may be referring to is the 1932 yuan which depicts the effigy of Sun Yat-sen with a junker on the reverse ("junk" dollar). The previous yuan depicted Sun Yat-sen with a forward facing memorial effigy as did the other two denominations minted in 1927 (10 and 20 sen). First, I would say Lin Sen was an older gentleman with a long beard and glasses from all depictions of him I have personally seen. Second, the effigy used on the 1932 yuan is the same used for the reformed coinage of 1936 as depicted above. So, I would say Numista would have to be wrong in at least one point: either they are wrong assigning the effigy to Sun Yat-sen in their 1932 yuan listing, or wrong on all accounts of the reformed coinage sen assigning the effigy to Lin Sen. I prefer to believe that the government would depict a founding father as opposed to a puppet president. Here is an interesting read that also assigns the effigy to Sun Yat-sen. If you can get any of the edicts or orders from the Minister of Finance, H. H. Kung, you may be able to get definitive proof of the identity of the effigy. Here is another interesting read to fill your time regarding the various coinage resulting from the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Long time, no talk. I hope this helps you out!
  8. I have had over 500 cash coins in my collection. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I am down to literally a handful;. But, this is the first cash coin from a Yunnan province mint that I have ever had!
  9. As most of you know, forum member Corina regularly places auctions up in the forums here at Coin People. The latest one had a couple of banknotes, early 20th century coins, and some unidentified Chinese 10 cash coin. Well, I got the package from the auction today and was mildly surprised with my mystery cash coin. It was a Hsien-feng 10 cash from the Yunnanfu Mint. It has some dinged up rims, but it quite easily identifiable. It is a nice specimen for being over 150 years old! According to Krause, this mint was responsible for casting 1, 10 and 50 cash denominations. This specimen would be the first of this denomination cast at this mint.
  10. I didn't even look into Turkey! Interestingly, though, my Krause shows the de Luxe series only through 1980. Now knowing what it is supposed to be, a little research should be made to authenticate the piece. Thank you. I learned something new and interesting today!
  11. Just wanted to bump to you that I just cannot find any information on this piece at all. The use of encircling stars along with encircling rosettes has me stumped. If I had to guess, I would say possibly south/central american in nature. From Colombia or Brasil maybe.

  13. Both photos you uploaded appear to be the same photo. Is it the same design on both sides? Do you have the side with the "bald guy" on it. And can you get a photo with more detail and clarity? Thanks!
