Title: Unusual chinese coin find Post by: JohnF on November 17, 2008, 10:31:53 PM I thought you might like to see an unusual coin i found on a club dig on Sunday.
Its a 7.2 candareens from Kwang tung province and dates from 1880-1908. How it ended up on a ploughed field near the welsh border is anybodys guess. Title: Re: Unusual chinese coin find Post by: James on November 18, 2008, 12:09:28 AM thats travelled just a bit ay!!!!! ;D
