Looks like Yunnan Province (of course it was towards the end of the goddamned alphabet, I had to go through everything Checkiang, Szechuan, etc.), one dollar, year unknown. Either 1911-1915 (90% silver) or 1920-1922 (60% silver). The tell-tale sign is the lack of words on the coin, and the two matching emblems on either side. Yunnan seems to be the only match for this coin, as far as I can tell. 03:31, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm throwing up the reverse--Thanatos 03:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The reverse all but confirms that it is Yunnan in origin. See here for a pictoral treatment.  The script on the bottom of the reverse is a year designation, but I don't have my handbook handy, so I can't tell right off what year the coin was minted.   11:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, could be 50 cent piece. What is the diameter of the coin?  That will tell us for sure.  Still no date, and the handbook wasn't terribly helpful describing how to read the Chinese.   01:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 1 1/4 inches in diameter--Thanatos 01:25, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Where's the other side? 01:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Its in the gallery--Thanatos 01:38, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It is the 50 cent piece. The dollar is 1 1/2 inches.   01:46, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
