I bought some coins and this two coins came as added bonus:





These two coins are from Honan, currently known as Henan. They are quite massive as they are 4cm in diameter and weighing at 20grams easily. Probably the largest Asian copper coin that I have in my collection.

Here is an image comparison:



If I am not wrong, the size of the Aussie 5 cent coin is about the same as a Lincoln cent. The 1931 100 cash coin in particular seems to be relatively uncommon as seen here:

Although it wasn't sold, the asking price is kinda surprising. Is the price somewhere around there? Tried looking everywhere else but so far not successful. Anyone else collects coins of this type?
