Taiping 5 Cash Error

Tai P'ing Error Coin. Hartill 'Qing' has these as Type 6 coins with a value of 5. This one failed to have the hole formed and a sprue detachment problem left a chunk missing, it has also never been filed for finishing. It probably rejected by the coiner even with their lax standards. A rare example but not the only T.P. coin with an error in this collection, see the muled obverse coin in this museum.
