Both same type of coin. China cash, Emperor Qianlong aka Kao-Tsung aka Ch'ien Lung, 1736-1795, Shan-Lung variety.
Boo Chiowan (Board of Revenue) Mint, Beijing.
Цитата: "asimov37"Hi, the identification is right, but these 2 coins are certainly NOT Shan lung varieties !
Shan lung coins have 2 angles on both sides of the lower horizontal bar of the bottom caracter (Long).
These 2 coins have a simple horizontal bar, so there are common coins.
These are some of the most common Chinese cash coins, and the condition isn't great. They would sell for about 50 cents where I am. They're an interesting piece of history despite being common and not very valuable. My mistake about the Shan-Lung -- I was just going by the upper fish-hook shape shown in the example on Calgary Coins, but I see that's not the determining factor.
