Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1912 Posts	Posted 08/19/2020 03:59 am I agree it is an obvious poor quality fake, but here's a description for the OP: The upper picture has the symbol for longevity above the square have these words: Made in the Kirin Arsenal under official supervision in the 10th year of Kuang Hsu. The lower picture has four manchu characters meaning: Kirin Weight Half Tael. Within the small square: Half Tael Chang Ping. Edited by Albert 08/19/2020 04:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
