Found these along with a 10 cash, and 2 x 20 cash chinese coins issued as Tai-Ching-Ti-Kuo-copper coin , so I am assuming Chinese as well.
Anyone know what these 2 items are ? | ||

I may learn from this post. My father in law brought a bunch of these home from WWII. He was on Luzon last but helped free all the islands. I gave them to my son in hopes he could find out more.
look into Chinese Feng Shui / good luck / fortune coins
ill will be back later reads like jiaging tongbao bao yuan, and yong zheng tong tao, must be a nobrainer
Feedback much appreciated
These are Chinese cash coins. The side with the two characters is the mint identification and the other side is the Emperor's name. The Standard Catalogs of World Coins have a few pages at the start of the China sections where you can match up the characters. Not very hard but it does take a little time.
well that book won,t help this case, because you have to compare the Manchu word Boo on the left which is the Manchu for the word Currency or treasure combined with that symbol that indicate the agency of the coin , and there quite a lot of agencies
And actually this book is for absolute beginners , actually the book is complete rubbish
Glad you know all the answers. Now if you would be so kind as to show the coins with the proper alignment....
actually i don,t know nothing about asiatica, as you might noticed
