nhoj47 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I recently obtained this coin. It weighs 26.85 grams. Diameter 40 MM. I have found all of the idiograms on the reverse except for one. It is inside the center circle at the 3 o'clock position. Standard catalog of World Coins doesn't wran of counterfiets for 1907, but you never know. I found a coin in the catalog, KM# Pn303 CD(1907). The only difference in the coin is the idiogram at 3 o'clock. Any info on this idiogram or the coin appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsraghead Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 the reverse of this chinese dollar looks like the reverse of yours Look under the topic "needing help bad!!" to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 That character is "silver". At 26g, this would be significantly underweight. (and virtually impossibly so) The rim is also of concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhoj47 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks for the info on the chinese character. As for weight, the chinese dollar is "7 MACE AND 2 CANDAREENS" or just under 27 grams. If it is a 1 Tael coin the weight should be around 37.43 grams. This would definetly be a big difference and make this a counterfeit coin. Again, thanks for the help.

robtgossard Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Whao!! Dramatic coin designs. Guess the Chinese’s contributions to the world of coins are popular dragon designs and…. the lunar series coins. World’s most reputed government mints including the U.K. mint, Canadian mint through to the Australian Perth mint issue coins that honor the Chinese lunar year. This year for the first time in the U.K. mint’s history of 1,100 years, they issued silver Britannia with a privy marked rim. The privy mark on the rim is of a Chinese snake that represents the “Year of the Snake”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
