The coin is 32mm in diameter; approx 1mm thick (the edges are worn so might be as much as 1.2mm); and, weighs 3.7g. I can read "kuang tung" for myself but after that I'm struggling. I don't know if it's 14th century or 20th or even if its genuine! I am aware of how many fakes abound and have no provenance. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. The photos are below and thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

It's always good to increase my knowledge base and with these pointers I can find out much more ... though I suppose I'll have to keep hunting for the one that I can retire on ;) Report this Post to the Staff
