Help to identify Chinese coin

[Triggersmob]

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, try this site...very informative! www.sportstune.com/chinese/coins

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.

Goose, that's an interesting website, thank you.

Sap, thanks for the info. You never let us down. LOL

The world has Wikipedia...........


               but here at the Knights of the Coin Table......we go one better


We have.......

....when only the best will do.

SAPAPEDIA

Now that's just silly. 


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

SAPAPEDIA is easier to pronounce. 

Sapyxica - off with the pixies

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.
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.
