China Kiang-Nan 10 Cash [решено]

7 сообщений
On Numista this looks like Y# 135 coin. I know how to read Japanese dates, but for the Chinese coin of mine in the picture below I am not sure where the date is. I see a  +  on the left which I don't think is in the date, and is probably the 10 for the value, which luckily is written in English on the other side. Talking of which, the rosette on left and right do not quite match that on the page below

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21070.html

and I read that all sorts of varieties exist - from Y# 135  135.1  135.2  up to  135.10  so can anyone please tell me which of the eleven versions this is? And what date 1902 to 1906 also? Thanks  :)

                                            

P.S.  After writing the above I learnt that Y# 135.9 has small rosettes either side of dragon (so could be the one shown on the above page), and Y# 135.10 has large oblong rosettes, which sound like mine are. The other varieties mention pearl, clouds, thin tail, and so on - so still not sure.
 Finally, I got it among a bag of 90 assorted coins received today, so did not buy just this one coin.

Am I among that "you-know-who?"

The Kuang-hsu copper cash coins rarely had the dates on them. The 十 simply means 10 as in 10 Cash.

The picture for the cash coin is one of many variants; yours is one of them: Y#135.10.

You're in luck; these are generally worth $2-3 each, plus yours is not fake.

No - as I was hoping it was yourself who would help - which you have. Thanks  :)
Now that I know the number, but not the year, I was wondering how it would be entered (as a new third line) on the above page; meaning what year does Y# 315.10 be put against, so I can add it to my collection (and not exchanges).
 The two existing lines on there are 1902 Y# 135 and 1903 Y# 135.4 so far; and I guess the other numbers (Y# 135.1  135.2  etc) get added as well when someone else gets one?  Or would anyone get told off if all eleven versions were added, even of the member did not own any of them. Always wondered what the Numista rule was - if there was one - as sometimes I see gaps in a country, when the coins already on here are displayed in the KM# number order option. Sometimes they are not entered as the missing coin is gold and nobody is likely to own one, for example. But if someone, perhaps myself, on a quiet day, wanted to make the records more complete, would that be permitted.  8)

Put in 1902.

It was issued that year, even though it doesn't have a give date.

There are a ton of year gaps for Chinese imperial coinage.

You can add the years if you'd like. As you may know, the years lists are unverified, so you don't even have to send a request.

The year is actually present through the characters 乙巳, based on the 60-year calender. This would suggest the coin was only minted for a year (not that unusual really)
