Description

Obv. 咸豐重寶 Xian Feng Zhong Bao. Rev. Boo fu left and right. MInt: Fuzhou, Fujian. 1853 - 1855 CE. Unusual to have 重 Zhong on the obverse instead of 通 Tong when the reverse has just the mint mark and no denomination. This may be a charm.

Credit Line Purchased from Rev. Edward W. Thwing; subscription of Robert C. H. Brock, 1902
Other Number 1135 - R. C. H. Brock Collection Number
