laura-watson Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I have found this coin that on the front has the words 'ARMIS EXPOSCERE PACEM' around the top of a picture of a Shield of the United Kingdom front of arms and under a Palm tree. Below this is the word 'CHINA'. On the reverse is simply the word 'CHINA' and the date '1842'. The diameter of the coin is about 19mm. I have tried to look this up but am not having much luck valuing it so any help would be gratefull please. Thanks, laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi laura this is not my area of collecting but this pagehttp://anglochinesewar42.com/index.php?p=1_11_CHINA-MEDAL-1842 shows the weight 34 gm & size 36 mm. of the genuine silver medal. I suspect what you have is a modern minature 18.55mm cast copy like this one http://www.medal-medaille.com/product_info.php?cPath=247&products_id=5519 Sorry, I hope I am wrong but......
