Schjöth 1424, Hartill 9.3-4 Type 1, KM 319
Kangxi (1662-1722)

1 cash (cast brass), 1667-1670, Fujian province (in Fuzhou), 27 mm.

Obv:  Kangxi tongbao.

Rev:  Fu (in Manchurian) to the left, fu (in Chinese) to the right.

Type 1 is comprised of coins with a two dot tong, a nominal weight of 1.4 qian (= 5.22 grams), and a diameter over 26 mm.

This is one of a series of twenty coins known as “poem” coins (shi qian), which, according to folklore, have talismanic qualities when placed together.  The coins were put in a specific order in which the mint names formed a “poem.”  The poem did not have a particular meaning, but rhymed according to the rules of classical Chinese poetry.
