Description
English: 52 mm

Obv.: Hsien Feng Chung Pao Rev.: Top: Tang - "Equal To" Bottom: Wu-Shih - "50" Right: Manchu Su - Kiangsu Province Left: Manchu Boo - coin Rarity:   Ref.:  

This coin is an original 50 Cash coin that has been altered at some point to look like a 30 Cash coin. There is in fact no such thing as a 30 Cash coin. Perhaps this was done to fool a naive coin collector. Parts of the Wu (5)character have been removed to make it look like San (3).

Dynasty: Ch'ing (1644 - 1911 a.d.) Emperor: Wen Tsung (1851-1861 a.d.) Reign Title: Hsien Feng (1851-1861 a.d.) Fake: A fake is a coin which is made to imitate an existing coin, normally of a scarce or rare nature. This can be done by casting a copy of an original coin. The result is usually of very poor quality. A fake can also be made by altering an existing coin, usually a common piece, to make it look like a rare coin. Do not confuse fakes with Charms or Fantasies. These are coins that were never intended to be circulated as cash. See also Hsien Feng Chung Pao Charms.
