The 'legs' of the left Hou character suggest that it might be much older - mid 17th century. It should measure 24mm with a thickness of 1mm.

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 01/22/2014 12:21 pm wade: what makes you think it is a replica? Most of the Japanese Mon look way better than contemporary Cineses cash coins. Behind the mylar I think it looks okay. Does it have any markings on the back? Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 9:54 pm no markings on the back, a person more familiar with these told me its dated 1653. I thought replica because it is so pristine, like it was minted yesterday, however they are apparently very common and this grade is not a rarity (or even all that valuable) I'm a little ticked off with the ebay seller, they had it attributed as Vietnam 1 phan. they reluctantly offered a refund for the cost of the coin but I am out the $8 tracked shipping AND return shipping if I decide to send it back. I think I'll just nail it to the wall as a reminder to attribute for myself (or ask for better pictures) before buying... Report this Post to the Staff
