The obverse reads \u003cstrong\u003eQian Long Tong Bao\u003c\/strong\u003e (乾隆通寶), top, bottom, right, left. The reverse carries the Manchu mint mark, with \u003cstrong\u003eBoo\u003c\/strong\u003e (\"mint\") on the left and the mint name on the right. The mint name appears to be one of the Beijing Board mints, but we do not claim a specific mint. It measures 25.5 mm and weighs 3.94 grams. A classic piece of Chinese history over 200 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade: Fine to Very Fine (F-VF).\u003c\/strong\u003e 乾 (Qian) and 通 (Tong) are bold and sharp; 隆 (Long) and 寶 (Bao) are complete but softer, partly under old deposits. The Manchu characters on the reverse are bold. Rims are complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition, please read:\u003c\/strong\u003e in fairness, there is a \u003cstrong\u003esmall triangular hole (void) that goes through the coin\u003c\/strong\u003e at the inner edge of the rim, just above and right of 乾 on the obverse (upper left on the reverse). It looks like an old casting flaw, but we cannot say for certain. Both sides have a dark gray-brown patina with spots of encrustation (old corrosion deposits) in the fields and on the rims, a few light scratches on the reverse, and the edge is slightly out of round. No cracks or bends seen.
