In Memory Of
Aaaaaaand it's Chinese.
Wish it was from this country but it will hold a place in my collection until I find an american coin to replace it.
Minted between 1736-1795 so at the very least it is 225 years old and not in bad shape.
1 Cash - Qian Long Tong Bao coin... Boo-Chiowan mint.
Bronze alloy, nice and dark and thought about tumbling or scrubbing it to bring out the lighter bronze color but I think I will leave it the way it is.
Found in a neighbor's lawn of all places, I have found coins from several different countries in the lawns of my neighbors for some reason.
You just never know what cool things you can find around here.
A gazillion of these made so not worth much, maybe $1-$2 or so, but my first chinese coin and a very old one at that so I am happy.
