Hi, m8s!
10 Cash Honan Province, China ND (1913-1914) obverse rotated 64 degrees.
Is it common to these coins or I found a treasure?  ;D

Copper
Diameter 28 mm
Weight 6.60 g

I don't collect the struck coppers so can't give a definitive answer.  But there were a lot of counterfeits.  That's what this might be.

Hello,

I have also a 10 Cash (Y-108a.3) from the Honan mint presenting a rotation error (about 40°) and a slight off-center error.

That coin is older than yours (Empire) but your coin seems genuine, see my republican 200 cash that also present a rotation error (about 45°) to compare.

The Honan mint don"t seems regarding about that kind of errors...

The best way to know if your coin is not a fake is to check the 10 Wen specimens from Honan in Zeno database in order to find a similar die.
Maybe this one.
