Qian Long Tong Bao
Ruler: Gao Zong (1736-1795)
Qian Long: reign/era title. This coin, though of a design shared with other 'Palace Coins' is far heavier and wider than other Palace Coins of the reign, and is therefore probably not official. Palace coins were introduced in 1752 for use by rh eunuchs and guards of the imperial Palace.
