dw171 Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 01/30/2020 5:26 pm I'm trying to identify this ingot coin for a friend. These are the only pictures I have. Its supposed to weigh about 4 oz and be cast silver. I didn't see any of this type coin in any of David Hartill's books that I have. Has anyone seen one like this or could anyone point me in the right direction where to look? Report this Post to the Staff

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 01/30/2020 6:17 pm It's a HONG KONG Silver AR 2 liang, Or at least that's what it seems to be listed under. I think it is a two tael bar. No idea if it's real or not though. If I am right it should weigh around 75 grams Report this Post to the Staff

It could be silver plated over a lower purity silver core. Nevertheless, in the pictures, it appears to be genuine. Edited by sel_69l 01/30/2020 7:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
