Confirm the Three Eastern Provinces wording before narrowing the attribution
| Feature | Supported evidence |
|---|---|
| Region | Three Eastern Provinces |
| Date | No precise year is stated. |
| Kuping standard | Kuping 1 Mace 4 Candareens 4 Cash |
| Named type | Xuantong Yuanbao |
| Evidence limit | The region, named type and full Kuping expression support broad identity only; they do not establish authenticity, a particular mint, fineness, design subtype or precise year. |
Read every unit as part of one continuous inscription
Regional wording: Photograph the Three Eastern Provinces characters with their neighbours and the complete border. If relief is weak, add a second light direction without reconstructing a missing stroke.
Complete weight expression: Keep Kuping 1 Mace 4 Candareens 4 Cash together and retain the final 4 Cash. A decimal shorthand would erase the structure supplied by the coin.
Open date: Leave the year unresolved because no precise year is stated. A dated comparison can guide image coverage, but its chronology cannot be transferred here.
Separate inscription evidence from physical condition
Start with colour-balanced whole faces, then show lettering, fields and the circumference at a fixed orientation. Preserve toning, deposits, wear, scratches and earlier cleaning rather than improving the surface before examination.
Organise the supporting material
| Evidence group | What to retain |
|---|---|
| Identity wording | Three Eastern Provinces, Xuantong Yuanbao and every unit in Kuping 1 Mace 4 Candareens 4 Cash |
| Surface history | Natural colour, high-point wear, contact marks, residue and any older cleaning under direct and shallow light |
| Edge and measurements | An ordered circumference plus safe weight, diameter and thickness readings used only as consistency checks |

Questions before an appraisal
What should you check before selling?
What matters depends on the item. Photograph both sides, the edge, hallmarks or base marks, and any damage. Include the original box, certificate or weight information where relevant so we can decide whether an in-person inspection is needed.
