Just like my earlier post, I am suspicious as the Fischer catalogue I have lists it as rather rare, and while I don't recall the circumstances of its purchase, it would have been in a junk bin or a Chinese cash lot for very little, definitely not identified as rare. I cannot find any authentic specimens to compare it with.

This weighs 3.8 grams and has a diameter of 24 mm.

The script is larger and heavier than those illustrated in Hartill. Also, the jing character above reverse has dots rather than dashes as feet. It looks instead very much like the modern typeface jing in the catalog description. This combined with the unusual (applied?) patina and the $750 value in Hartill (1st ed, 2005), gives me pause but I am not a specialist.

I suggest emailing your images to Joe Lang (Joe @ stevealbum dot com).

It is a low fake, throw away, it has a value 0 dollars.
