Message:: [QUOTE="manymore, post: 972356, member: 17118"]According to <a href="http://en.allexperts.com/q/Coin-Collecting-2297/2008/9/Kwang-Shu-Kuoping-Tael.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.allexperts.com/q/Coin-Collecting-2297/2008/9/Kwang-Shu-Kuoping-Tael.htm" rel="nofollow">this link</a>, the first coin is a fantasy coin. The second coin is either a reproduction from <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D270601862448" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D270601862448" rel="nofollow">this set</a> of the "Ten Most Valuable Silver Coins of China", or it is a fantasy issue based on one of the coins (bottom row, second from left) of this set.  The images are not clear enough to make a determination. Regarding the second coin, the "real" coin is surrounded by "Silver Pattern Coin" and "Prohibited to Circulate" written in both proper Chinese and not-so-proper English to indicate that it is, in fact, a copy.
