Chinese Coin. Does it look genuine ?

[Kia F]

I recently purchased a couple of old Chinese Coins and would appreciate views as to whether genuine or fake ?.

The Diameter is  6 cms   and Weight is 76 grams   The patina looks correct and have included 2 photos of the

edge, one under flash other without flash.

Thanks for any advice from a UK coin enthusiast.

The Qing Dynasty Qian Long Tong Bao type, 1735-1796, is a very common coin in its normal, value-1, size.

Larger ones like this were made but are quite rare today.  They are also heavily faked.

You need to consult a specialist to determine if you have a $10 modern copy or a valuable original.

You may find some larger ones shown on zeno.ru, I don't know.

I’m no expert on these, but I can add that the coin reads ‘乾qian 隆long 通tong 寶 bao’ (top to bottom, then right to left) on the obverse, and in Manchu script ‘boo chiowan’ (board of revenue) on the reverse.

The bottom photo is the obverse, and needs to be rotated to the right 90•, the top photo rotated to the left 90•.

Emperor Qianlong 1736-95 CE reigned over the zenith of the Qing dynasty. I am not aware of any cash coin from this period weighing anywhere near 76 grams. It could be a later made good luck charm, but unfortunately I think it is far more likely to be a modern machine struck tourist token. Just my opinion though.

I removed several posts. We don't talk about money and prices here. You posted a question that you apparently didn't actually want answered. You already had your answer ready to post. We demand that you include all the information you have when you ask questions. Don't waste our time.

You should have posted EVERYTHING you knew about the coin in the first post. You did NOT do that.
