[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 543179, member: 4703"]Genuine 1884 yen are 38.6mm in diameter. If I'm reading your caliper correctly, yours is 41.5mm, or 7.5% too large. Strike one. The genuine ones weigh, as marked, 416 grains, which is equal to 26.9563g. Yours is ~498.5 grains, or 20% too heavy. Strike two. The denticles are wrong. Strike three. The tip of the dragon's tail is in the wrong position. Strike four. Buy why go on?[/QUOTE]
