China cash coins- 2 Ancient, 1 Charm

4 posts




photo set 1:
3.7g, 23mm -- guessing possible charm, anything from Zhou through Sui Dynasty, can't find it.
I know it may not be properly rotated. The character at the bottom in the photo looks like the character found on the left on the obverse of most coins from the Three Kingdoms through Wu Chu dynasties but this one is larger and by itself, unless the character at right in the photo is the second half of the logogram.

photo set 2:
3.2g, 22mm -- guessing Wang Mang or North and South or ?, can't find this one either.

photo set 3:
3.8g, 23mm -- Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, possible charm with moon and sun, but would appreciate help with what the characters say on the reverse

Thank you in advance for your help!
for me they look all very suspiceous

​Hello Petrus

Thank you for your input. I have been trying to find a definitive guide on how to tell fake from real ancient Chinese coins, but cannot. How can one tell?
I found the third coin here:

It is a charm, H-22.118.
