<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 480901, member: 4373&quot;]I bought some coins and this two coins came as added bonus: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/956816.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/956817.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an image comparison: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/1201/100ccomparetp2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I am not wrong, the size of the Aussie 5 cent coin is about the same as a Lincoln cent.
