QING: Qi Xiang, 1861, AE cash charm (8.22g), Board of Works, Peking, H-22.1122, Hua Guangpu p.1734 (lower left image), VF. First "nian hao" (reign title) of Tong Zhi. Very few coins minted with this reign title were produced and none were officially put into circulation. Likely a contemporary or later Qing Dynasty issue as the fabric and metal are consistent with the period. A similar piece sold at Stephen Album Auction 23, Lot 968, for $1400.
