| Description | Obv. 同治通寶 Tong Zhi Tong Bao. Rev. Boo left (Manchu) 桂 Gui right (Chinese). The reverse is unusual which most likely makes this a charm. Coins with this reverse from the Kangxi period were minted in Gulin, Guangxi province with 康熙通寶 Kang Xi Tong Bao on the obverse and Gui left and right in Manchu and Chinese on the reverse. This could also be a 诗钱 shi qian "poem coin" or a 套子钱 taozi qian "set coin". |
