It is the second coin from the top, in the middle row

Here is some info from the website about the coin, it is old but fairly common:


FOURTH SERIES (AD ?-1661): Mint name on the reverse, in Manchurian on the left and in Chinese on the right. The coins of the board of Revenue and board of Works mints, with &quot:beerbuddy:OO on the left and the mint name in Manchurian on the right, should also be included in this series, rather than as an issue of AD 1644 as suggested by Schjoth. This allows for a smooth transition with the coinage of K'ang-hsi and, not to put them here would require both of the principal mints to have been shut down during the last years of this reign.

S-1405, &quot:beerbuddy:OO CIOWAN (Board of Revenue mint). The manchurian mint name translates to Pao-Ch'uan, or The Fountain head of the Currency.

F $2.00 VF $3.50
I'm not sure if there both the same coin though...they are a little bit different :confused:

Great digs. Those Chinese coins make me nuts because I can't find anyone to explain to me how you tell them apart from so called i ching coins. Do a google search.

That gold ring is SWEET!!! I'd take gold anyday over pretty much anything else. Congrats!

I know how you feel!! :confused:
This might sound crazy :crazy: but ,I think I'm going to take them up to the chinesse resturant and ask the owner if he can shed some light on these things.
I dug another one last fall in N. Wisconsin. I'm just curious to see wht there face value is like. Are they like a penny here or what ? :confused:
