[QUOTE="manymore, post: 542277, member: 17118"]I confess that I know absolutely nothing about Chinese silver coinage but nowhere on the coin does it say 20 or 2 "tens". The Chinese inscription says 2 "qian". The "qian" was a unit of weight. According to my Chinese dictionary, one "qian" was equal to 3.73 grams so two "qian" should be about 7.46 grams of silver. Sorry, but I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the coin or its value.[/QUOTE]
