Chinese coin from Ch’ing Dynasty found in Darwin dig - thewest.com.au
Nov 6
A historic Chinese coin from the Ch’ing Dynasty has been discovered in an archeological dig in the heart of Darwin. The excavation began in a vacant lot behind the Sue Wah Chin building in the city centre on September 22, ahead of the lot’s redevelopment.
Constructed in the 1880s, the building is testament to the establishment and expansion of the Chinese community in the Northern Territory. It is the only building associated with Darwin’s 19th century Chinatown which still survives today.
