Description

Obv. 咸豐元寶 Xian Feng Yuan Bao. Rev. Boo chiowan left and right. Dots (stars) above and below. Unusual to have 元 Yuan on the obverse instead of 通 Tong when the reverse has just the mint mark and no denomination. This is in combination with the dots on the reverse indicate this may be a charm.

Credit Line Purchased from Rev. Edward W. Thwing; subscription of Robert C. H. Brock, 1902
Other Number 1110+ - R. C. H. Brock Collection Number
