Undescribed Wu Shu coin with swastika

Jan, 15, 1999
Question from Scott Clegg:
    I have a Wu Shu 26 mm diameter with a swastika on the top and bottom. I noticed that Schjoth had one with 4 swastika's. I haven't been able to find much on this coin but I did see a similar one in a very old book that a dealer has here in Shanghai. Does anybody have any information on this item?

V.Belyaev:
    This item is placed under N994 in the book "Zhong Guo Hua Qian" by Yu Liu Liang etc. (ISBN 7-5325-1220-7) in the section of Chinese charms with coin legend.

Message from Maryann Fremion (13-Oct-2000):
    On the requests of coin indentification page, I have identified the coin with the swastika. In Jen's Book, Chinese Cash, it is #1012 Wu Zhu. The marks mean ten thousand. In very good condition is valued at $150.00 In VF it is $300.00.
