Subject:Chinese Coin Necklace
Posted By: Cheryl Blevins Sun, Feb 18, 2024 IP: 75.185.42.185 Can anyone read this? I'm not sure what it's made from, but it is not magnetic. |

Posted By: Cherl Blevins Mon, Feb 19, 2024 I believe I found what one side says: Qianlong Tongbao (circulating treasure of Qianlong) (1736-1785), but I don't know if it's actually from that era. I still cannot figure out the other side. I know that's supposed to be the mint mark, but I can't find that exact mark. |
