I’ve had this coin in my collection for several years. I could not find it in any foreign coin book anywhere for the longest time still can’t actually. I did find it however using Google lens to search for it and what I came up with was a Chinese 10 cash coin but a rebel coin made by the rebellion to the Quing Dynasty. Appearently these were rebel coinage and made illegal and were to be destroyed upon finding them. And anyone caught carrying them was to be put to death without question. Apparently there’s some question whether or not the strike is authentic or a strike of the original coins similar to this are considered to be the original coin and these have a waveform pattern in the background on the design side of the coin, but it is not known for sure whether these are also original Coins from a different die or possibly a restrike. From what I gather, these are also quite rare, and there are only five original coins from what’s considered to be the original strike with the wave pattern form in existence. However, I do not know how many of the possible restrike coins are known. Can anyone give me any insight on this coin and whether or not it is a actual restrike or if it is an original original issue? And possibly a population of this particular coin. Thank you for your time and I hope someone knows a little something more about this.
