Solid example of Shaanxi mint
The calligraphy on the reverse is clear. There is some minor corrosion which is expected for a coin of this age, but it does not detract from its value. Good purchase.

Good quality, fast shipping
Arrived well-packaged in a protective case. The coin matches the description perfectly. It is a bit smaller than I expected for a first furnace cast, but still a beautiful specimen.

Authentic and Beautiful
I was worried about buying ancient coins online, but this is definitely the real deal. The wear patterns look natural, not artificial. A great addition to my Qing dynasty set.

A: We recommend storing the coin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it in the provided acid-free holder to protect the surface from oils and moisture.
Q: Is the patina natural or artificially applied?

A: Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy for all items. Please ensure the coin remains in its original protective packaging if you wish to return it.
