It weighs 3 kilograms 70 grams (a bit over 6 3/4 lbs) and was a coin that was actually used in normal purchases. At that time coins contained their intrinsic value in metal content - a 4 daler coin had 4 daler&#039;s worth of silver in it. Sweden, at that time, had very little silver but lots of copper.</p><p>Here are more piccies of the Chinese coin – a 100 cash coin of Emperor Hsien Feng 1851-61 – 68mm diameter and 187 grams (6½ oz). The coins with it are a 5 Chu of Emperor Wu Ti 266-290 AC – 11mm diameter and 0.55 of a gram. The even smaller coin is an Indian silver fanam of the 19th Century – 6mm in diameter and 0.42 of a gram.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the best,</p><p>Col[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
