Thx.

zarathustra New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/01/2022 4:57 pm Thanks Spence! This coin is not magnetic. Although I am not currently in possession of a scale, I would venture to guess this coin is between 8-12 g (I am making this estimation comparing it to a 1972 JFK Half Dollar... they are roughly the same weight from touch). Hope that helps Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 01/01/2022 8:57 pm Well, it is certainly not silver but brass. Third legend of emperor Te Tsung. One of the provincial issues, 10 or 20 cash. The legends seem too worn to identify more precisely. Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 5:36 pm From memory copper coins were diluted other metals during times of copper shortages which resulted in a yellower colour. Worth keeping as an example of this in my books. Report this Post to the Staff
Wandering Circle Valued Member Hong Kong 176 Posts	Posted 01/29/2022 02:27 am Looks like it should be a 20 cash instead and it's a variant with the rosette at the centre. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6816.html Report this Post to the Staff
