Dragon coin

I took out a packet of coins which was mixed. My worker helped me to sort out those coins into their separate denomination. 

After a short while, she showed me this special coin which she found among those coins. I was amazed as I haven't come across this special coin.

When I googled about it, I found out that it's actually the

Ten Cash Fukien 1901-1905 Chinese Dragon Coin



I love the print of the dragon which is considered very auspicious for Chinese.


The reverse side has Chinese characters but I don't understand it.
I am going to keep this special coin...
It must be very valuable..

  3. but too bad, the one you had did not print which year it was produced.. anyway, it's from the years of the Guang Xu Emperor, who was the 2nd last emperor of china from 1871 till 1908..

    hence your coin 1901 must be super valueable leh
