This is a chromed coin with milled edges with a weight slightly heavier than the zinc cast iron coins. Double-sided molds of this kind were used for double-sided coins. The discovery of a puzzling 340-year-old coin etched with traditional Chinese characters in Canada's Yukon territory suggests that the area was already aflurry with trading even before the Gold Rush. Other coin shapes appear in bronze including knives and cowrie shells. It is well made and the cheapest of all chromed coins. Minted during the Qing Dynasty reign of Emperor Kangxi, the coin is 60 percent copper and 40 percent zinc. During the 6th century BC, flat, simplified, and standardized cast bronze versions of spades appear and these constitute China's first coins. The Tlingit body armor and ceremonial robes tended to use coins only from China's Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Chinese money coins originated from the barter of farming tools and rural surpluses. Historically , Chinese money coins were cast in copper, brass or iron. This technique was used exclusively to produce Chinese cash until 1889, and some provinces continued to cast coins as late as 1908. It was cast between 1667 and 1671 — long before the 1898 gold rush, when people from all over the world headed to Dawson City and the Klondike gold fields.

I can only advise my readers to follow these wise words as below I cast a critical eye over a small selection of Khitan-inscribed objects that I have come across on the internet. I remember agonising because I didn't have yarrow sticks to cast, or even chinese coins, but it was a journey to interpret the results.
