Tigrou1974 New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 07:28 am I picked this up at a car boot a long time ago and the seller said they'd had it years and picked it up in China. Any ideas please on it's authenticity, I'm assuming it's just a fake for the tourist market, but just want to make sure. It's framed in sealed Perspex box so I haven't taken it out.

aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 11:28 am Your 'Spade' has the appearance of a Wang Mang, (7-22 AD), 1000 Cash coin. But, as has been mentioned, fakes of these coins are, unhappily, quite common. See this link for an example:- https://www.goldenruleenterprises.o...ade-no-date/ Check the size and weight. It should be close to 57 x 21 mm and weigh approx. 12 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
