Title: Help to identify Chinese coin
Post by: Triggersmob on January 07, 2008, 11:49:48 PM

Can anyone please help with info on this coin. I don't have a catalog and can't find it on Don's World Coin Gallery.

I believe it is 10 Fen or 10 Cents.
The year is 30. Is that 1941?

Thanks in advance

Steve  :) :) :)

I think this coin is a bit more modern than the authors of that website had in mind. It's from the Republic of China, Year 30 (1941), denominated 10 cents. KM/Y# 360.

The spade-shaped object depicted on the reverse is, of course, an example of primitive Chinese currency, a 'square feet' spade coin, circa 220 BC.

SAPAPEDIA

Now that's just silly.  >:(


I much prefer the title, "Encyclopaedia Sapyxica". Has a much more classical ring to it.  :D ;D :D

Good work Fred.
It's good to have a mature presence to settle the young scalliwags down at times.
Away with the Pixies, well I never. :o
What will the young ones think of next.
By the way. Has anyone had a good game of 'tick, tack, toe'  lately.
regards,

You're welcome Trigger.

Muck,
    Does your comment imply that my advanced stage to decrepitude is a welcome trait? I didn't think I was that old. :(

Maturity really has little bearing on age.  ;)  Granted, it does seem to come with experience, but those with the lack of intelligence to apply it never find out what it is. ;D
