Medal China Emperor Coins 1618 to 1911

These are not actually coins from China, but novelty pieces struck to record the reigns of Emperors of the Ching Dynasty, which ran from 1644 to 1911. It is kind of like a set of 'coins' struck for each President in America, such as the sample at this CoinQuest link.

These coins are made in modern times of base metal. They are worth a few dollars each. Do not pay more than $10 US dollars, even though you can find them on sale for prices well above this level. $2 is more like it!

There is an interesting thread on this topic over at CoinCommunity.
