nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 5:53 pm It's almost certainly a fake, as are most of these Chinese crowns. Details are poor. The design certainly doesn't look contemporary... it is most likely a modern fantasy piece sold in the millions to tourists. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 9:52 pm Alas, nalaberong is correct. Though I've never seen one with this particular design before and I'm not familiar enough with Chinese pattern dollars to know if this design was ever actually struck (it claims to be a "1 dollar" coin), It can be said with confidence that it is either a complete fantasy or a reproduction of an extremely scarce pattern coin. It is highly unlikely to actually be made of silver. 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.

custolucis New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/04/2014 10:28 am Not completely sure it's silver. Are there any tests I could perform to determine if it is? Report this Post to the Staff
