Help needed identifying copper coin

danglen

I have a "Treasure Chest" in my shop where folks can look through thousands of darkside coins and pick the ones they want, 25 each or 5 for a buck. Yesterday a lady came in, spent about an hour going through the chest, found one coin and asked me what it was. I couldn't tell her, so she threw it back in the bin . As soon as she walked out the door I was in the chest rescuing this piece. I don't think it's worth a lot, but I'll be it's worth more than a quarter. In any event, it is interesting and I'm wondering if one of our Far East experts can help me identify the piece?

It's a 10 cash coin from what looks like the Chinese province of Kiangnan (center character) one of the many varieties of Y-10k.

Possibly Y#10k.6

Thank you. Never ceases to amaze me how much knowledge is shared in this forum

Yes, it might be Y#10k.6. Keep in mind that this piece is dated 1907. That will narrow down the possible ID's.
