Question
Recently, I purchased coins from the Qing Dynasty and I found that some of them had english words on them and I wanted to know what the explaination was for this.
Thank you

Answer
Hi!

Before I answer your question, could I clarify some stuff? You are referring to the Qing Dynasty, the last dynasty in China and not Qin Dynastsy, the first dynasty which had an emperor, right?

In addition, would it be possible to send me a picture of the coins you bought? I would then be able to read the Chinese words and decide if the coins are genuine.

Thank you.
