Blackhawk Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I got this one in a small collection of Chinese copper. I have no reason to believe that it's fake, but cannot find any information on it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 If it came with okay stuff and providence isn't a problem, I'd say that it probably is some sort of contemporary pattern or private issue. I'd suggest contacting one of the auction houses in HK and see what they have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I have been trying to find any information on your coin for the past several days to no avail. The obverse identifies it as a Republic of China coin. The denomination is 10 wen (cash). There not many cash coins from that era that I am familiar with as having a chrysanthemum on the reverse. The chrysanthemum is mostly predominant in Japanese coins. The Gansu province utilized four pointed rosettes. There was a 10 cash copper pattern minted from that mint around 1928, but I have no details on exactly what the design would have been. However, this province utilized the crossed flags on its reverse. Yet, that province did utilize the chrysanthemum with a dot in the middle. And guess what...... I decided to just do a final web search and I found the coin graded NGC...Gansu pattern 1924 10 cash here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Wow. You did a great job of finding the coin. I'd have never guessed it to be a pattern. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
