China: Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE), coin-shaped charm without central hole, a Guizhou mint production, obverse inscribed 'Fu ru dong hai shou bi nan shan', reverse inscribed 'Yue' showing bat, deer and peach, 49.5*2.3mm, 34.1g, Zhong Qian Genuine. Note: This piece is of an exceptional quality, which applies to both the coin body itself as well as the inscriptions and the pictorial representations on the back, most superbly executed. It uses the characters Shou and Yue in the central position, representing an unusual design. Of particular interest is the encircled character 'Yue' on the reverse, an entriguing treatment with unidentified meaning. It is possible that this piece may have been custom made to commemorate a special birthday celebration. Overall, this piece represents an extremely rare and nice example produced by the Guizhou mint..

Estimate: 3000 - 7000
