mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2952 Posts	Posted 02/08/2025 6:48 pm This coin I have had for a while and just coming back to looking at it. I looked at numista but couldn't find the coin so I may need to add it. Weight: 0.84g, Diameter: 19mm It could also be some sort of charm-like coin in the form of a coin perhaps?

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1910 Posts	Posted 02/11/2025 10:34 am I'll go along with -fu as it is the closest match It's a stretch for me to find it written in that style. So if that style is written into google translate, fu isn't the result. YZ-TB is obvious. So is Boo But Fu is in a hand foreign to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Probably because it is some kind of replica like these: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a335554.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a173832.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a184780.html Report this Post to the Staff
