Tai Ping Rebellion era of the Ch'ing (Qing) Dynasty?; this coin may have been issued by the Small Sword Society, a secret society dedicated to the overthrow of the Manchu Qing dynasty. Issued in 1854?
OB: Tai Ping Tung Pao (or Tong Bao; t,b,l,r), with 4 dots separating each character.
I have not found this coin or anything close in any reference I have. I'm requesting help in attributing it or opinions on it's authenticity.
RX: plain.
25 mm; 4.1 gm
