Identify a Manchurian coin

Can someone identify this coin, please?



Thanks,

Matt

Hi,
It could be great to add the diameter of the coin, please...

Is the diameter 22mm ?
If yes, it seems to be a 20 cents 1907 (year 33)
Emperor Kuang-Hsu, with rosettes at either side.
Catalog Reference Y#210a.2
Not rare...

The coin is 24mm in diameter, obviously worthless or it shouldn't belong to me, but I am unable to locate it within Numista and wondered what it was. It should be nice to be able to identify it - being unable to read any Chinese script as I am.

Hey, this post may be old, but let me help you Matt.

It says Kuang-hsu Yuan-bao; 1 mace 4.4 candareens. 1907.

The coin is not worthless; it is made of silver! And the mintages are lower than ordinary, too. Probably worth $10.

The design is different. I agree it looks like the 1907 coins (and probably is dated 1907), but the design is definitely Manchurian, but note the sort of flowery rosettes on one side, rather than plain dots.

It's still a mystery.

Thanks for narrowing it down for me.

Hello Matt

Check this book I found on Google.
Scroll down to page 435 for the Manchurian Province.
