Sap Moderator Australia 16909 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 7:52 pm It is not genuine, I'm afraid. It's a replica of a very scarce Chinese pattern coin, the "dragon tael" from Kwangtung Province. Most provinces of China never issued taels for circulation. See This example of a fake on zeno.ru. Several other people have posted these on the forum before. See this thread and this thread. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
jonathanr New Member South Africa 3 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 02:46 am Thanks for the help guys. And the welcome notes. It's so unfortunate that it's a fake. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume fakes aren't really worth anything? Thanks again everybody for helping me out. Report this Post to the Staff
