"Chinasmith" comment on http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=2909 : "It is a charm, probably made in the 19th century, part of a set of 20 such pieces. These sets, which exist for all the Ch'ing dynasty emperors, have the mint name in Chinese and the Manchu word "boo" on the back or they have the mint name in Manchu and Chinese on the back. The first type of coin was never made at the mint, the second type was only made for Shun Chih and K'ang Hsi. A set of 20 K'ang Hsi coins, each with a different mintmark, when strung together, were supposed to have magical power. People who sold amulets gathered these coins, and when they could no longer find them in circulation, they manufactured them. See Schjoth page 56. "
