I ran across this cash coin in a recent lot. It looks most similar to FD# 2225
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=&c=&co=y&cno=y&cc=y&cn=y&cu=y&cat=y&mode=avance&p=1&e=chine_empire&d=&km=2225&i=&v=&m=&a=&t=&dg=&w=&g=&f=
There are two coins with photos associated with this FD#, and mine looks like the front of one and reverse of neither.
The problems I have are these:
The coin definitely copper colored- unlike the other yellowish bronze cash coins I have.
The characters seem to be more crudely done (thicker) than the photos in the catalog.
It does not exactly match any catalog entries.
So what do you think? Real, fake, or just not in the catalog yet?
Thanks for your help,
Ryan
