Help Id Chinese Cash (Jiaqing Boo-chiowan ?)
« on: February 28, 2022, 08:38:48 am »
Hi,

I'm trying to id this coin but am having problem with metrics, as it is 25mm in diameter and the ones that I found here are 24/27mm
The boo-chiowan side looks too perfect to be true, fake or replica? If not can someone point me the correct id?

Thank you

IMHO this is clearly a fake or replica.

I prefer replica because these coins are usually sold in sets of imitations, and were not made to fool anyone.

Replicas on my picture measure 25 mm each.
