<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1348769, member: 26302&quot;]You are correct sir, I forgot to post info specific to this coin. Wang Mang was a usurper to the Han dynasty, and struck many cool coins all in attempts to bankrupt the rich. He was a pretty modern, socialist type of leader, so of course was beheaded. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin you list is the lower value one, the higher value one was inlaid with gold. The gold inlay coin even 20 years ago was heavily faked and almost impossible to buy an authentic piece, but now the lower value one, since its a &quot;cool&quot; shape, is massively faked. I would guess there are 1000 good fake today for every authentic piece. Mine I bought from a 1960&#039;s collection that I acquired about 2000, so I am relatively sure mine is authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
