[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2823984, member: 78244"]Very nice example! I am still needing one of these for my collection. The interesting thing about these heavy spades is that they usually explicitly stated their denomination in terms of weight. Your coin is denominated "Er (2) Jin" where a jin was about 16g. Your coin in theory should weigh about 32g, though being a little bit underweight in the norm. If the weight is really 15-20g, I highly doubt its authenticity as an original official coin. Here are my 2 arch-foot heavy spades: [B][I]Liang Chong Hua Jin Wu Shi Er Dang Lie[/I][/B] [B][I] [ATTACH=full]663905[/ATTACH] Yu Yi Jin [ATTACH=full]663907[/ATTACH] [/I][/B][/QUOTE]
