The original coin this fake is made to look like is Tian Cheng yuan bao from Later Tang Dynasty 923-36. Original coin weights 3.54 g and its diameter is 25 mm. And it is very rear and expensive. My fake coin weights 23.72 g and its diameter is 44 mm. My question is: why to make such big fake instead of the same dimensions as original? Or maybe this coin serves as a charm? Or has another purpose? Waiting for your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

To those who want the look of the poster (for the memories or the "feel"0 of the original at a much lower price. Similarly the people who made the coin may have meant to give people a chance to appreciate the style, appearance features and detail of the authentic coin and would not be useable as a counterfeit to deceive someone Report this Post to the Staff
