Yes, date for this coin is 1901.

Here are the characters for the date. There is a table of cyclical dates in KM, in the introduction of the China chapter.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Thank you all, it can only be Y#143a.6  or  Y#143a.7 with date 1901

Overlord is right.
It is 143a.6
There is no HAH on it (it would be 143a.7 then)

Am I misinterpreting something or is the weight given as 1 mace 4 candareens in English and 4 mace 4 candareens in Chinese?

On the obverse there is given 1 mace and 4.4 candareen, in Chinese on the reverse there is given 1 mace 4 candareen and 4 li.

Excellent. Thanks, Weepio.

I had that coin in the 1950's when still at school, I always thought that 1 mace & 44 candareens was the denomination rather than the weight  ::)
Notice I put 44 instead of 4.4 as I only recently noticed it was 4.4  :o
