DavidShep Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Going through some of my old things while trying to pack for moving (Never Fun) and found this thing... I dont remember where I got it from or from who... so im completely blind when it comes to finding something out about it. I dont even know if it is real gold or what... The width is no wider than a quarter. Top: Bottom: Side: the opposite side had the same as the one above. Any Help would be nice! thanks! If I do not get back to this site please Email me at DavidShep88@hotmail.com Once again thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 On the tip of my brain. I have seen those before, but I think the originals were supposed to be gold. And yours appears plated. Trying to do a search right now, to see if I can spot one. Edit: Found it a Sycee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidShep Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Thanks... I have been trying to do some research myself but with no knowlege of coins, its kind of hard.

ccg Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Sycee are usually in silver. China, like India, was a country that traditionally used silver as the basis of money, unlike European countries which favored gold after the 1800s. This piece is a souvenir / fantasy piece. The style is not even close and is practically cartoonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
