Copper coin plated by silver. I think that it is fantasy issue. |
By the opinion of Gilbert Tan (17-Jan-98), depicted above item is a recent fake. One school of thought feels that these were made for burial purposes. ![]() ![]() Gilbert Tan wrote to me (24 Feb 2000) that "It is purported to be a palace issue for presentation purposes. But the actual use no one will really know." | |
Any additional comments on that coin would be appreciated. You can sent it to Vladimir Belyaev. Home page |
