The wave design shares the same design as the common Kanei Tsuho cash coins with the waves at the back. However, this was a solid disc of high purity copper with only the waves in its full glory and a uniface back. Characteristically crude and with tell tale adjustment marks and hand-cut planchet albeit a heavy and solid piece at 38g (approximately 1 tael) worth it&#039;s weight in copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]645411[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A common Kanei Tsuho wave cash for comparison (not in similar scale)[ATTACH=full]645413[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
