Hi everyone. Just added this beauty to my collection. But the weight comes up on my scale as 25.45 grams. My scale isn't particularly good. Pictures attached below. I would really appreciate your opinions. Thank you!

I don't see anything amiss in the appearance compared to other examples, but am not very familiar with this type, so maybe someone who is will chime in.

I am seeing other examples that sold recently with 24.8 to 25.1 g. range, so it's not that far off. You might check some other coin of similar size like a U.S. silver dollar and see if it also come out high.

Thank you for the response. I did some more digging and figured out the 25.4 gram weight is correct.

Here is a link to the article that explained why. If your interested. Thanks again! &
