    I'm puzzled by the eBay listing http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260008406902&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016

    It shows a Chinese coin which I have tentatively identified from Jorgenson as Shun Yu Tong Bao (seal script)- he shows the obverse only. Reverse seems to indicate a denomination of 5 whatever. Schjoth and Hartill don't list any similar coin. Attached is the photo from the listing.

    Has anyone seen a coin like this or is it a fake/fantasy?

    Seller has now advised weight 43.84g diameter 50mm. Sure looks like a fake.
