The denomination on the reverse is "one wen" (or one cash). The Japanese character for "sen" is different. Note this is a struck coin, not cast as were most of the older cash. This coin is listed as Y25 in Krause, under Empire Standard Unified coinage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Not bad! The first chien lung piece I'd probably grade lower as the reverse manchu script is merging into the rim. Probably F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
