jenkinsde27 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 4:46 pm I am assuming this is a Chinese bullion coin but I have searched and can't find anything for the shape or anything else. Has anyone ever seen one of these? Need to identify and give a proper description. Thanks in advance! [red[Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap[/red] Report this Post to the Staff

jenkinsde27 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 6:25 pm It's 1 1/2" x about 7/8" and I'm pretty sure was NOT a metal detecting find Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16828 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 6:45 pm It appears to be a replica of a Japanese silver 1 shu from the mid-1800s; it's not supposed to have the same design on both sides, and it's supposed to be machine-struck. Genuine ones look like these, and a 1 shu should be much smaller, unless your measurements are actually in cm rather than inches! Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
