Step into the rich tapestry of 19th-century China with the 1851 Boo Ciowan Coin, an extraordinary piece of numismatic history from the Qing Dynasty. This coin is a remarkable relic from a time when China was navigating internal upheaval and external pressures, making it a meaningful addition to any collection of world or Asian coins.

Why This Coin is Significant:

  • Imperial Origins: Minted during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, this coin carries the legacy of China’s last imperial dynasty, which ruled for nearly three centuries. The year 1851 marks a pivotal moment, coinciding with the beginning of the Taiping Rebellion, one of the most significant and tumultuous events in Chinese history.

  • Regional Minting: The term “Boo Ciowan” identifies it as a product of the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing, one of the most influential mints of the time. This regional marking adds authenticity and historical depth to the piece.

  • Traditional Design: The coin features inscriptions in Manchu and Chinese characters, symbolizing the dual governance of the Qing Dynasty. Its round shape with a square hole reflects the ancient Chinese tradition of cash coins, designed for stringing together for convenience.

Estimated Value in Raw State Condition:

In raw state condition, with visible wear and patina indicative of its age and circulation, this coin’s value typically ranges between $15 and $50, depending on its legibility, condition, and collector interest. While raw, its historical significance and rarity make it a fascinating and valuable addition.

Why You Should Own This Coin:

  • A Window into the Past: This coin is more than just a collectible—it’s a tangible piece of China’s rich imperial history and a reflection of its cultural and economic practices.

  • Unique Design: The intricate inscriptions and classic cash coin design make it a beautiful piece of numismatic artistry.

  • Accessible History: At an affordable price point, the 1851 Boo Ciowan Coin is an excellent way for both seasoned and novice collectors to explore the legacy of Qing Dynasty China.
