Very rare Xin (Wang Mang, 9-23 CE) Western/Eastern Han interregnum privately minted bronze charm/coin with Northern Dipper Constellation (Big Dipper), tortoise and sword symbols on obverse side. I have compared this with an original Wang Mang coin and there is no difference in material or size other than the symbols i.e., this was meant to be a lucky charm and not money.

Collection of 5 silver Gaden Tangka Tibetan coins minted between 1840 and 1930. Frequently (and erroneously) called Dalai Lama coins which were struck as presentation gifts to monks in the late 1940s- were made of pure silver, these are approximately 70% silver mixed with 30% copper.

Fine and rare “hallmarked” silver Tamlung from the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai 1615-1768. I tested this with an aqua regis kit and it shows a very high silver content, 90% +. I have a set of low quality, alloy, lacquered “toks” on my site and this is the best one I have ever seen. You may Google- Money Museum and search Tok Thailand for the full story on this coinage. D: 5.2cm/2.2in and weighs, according to my kitchen scale approximately 70 grams.

Three Xin Dynasty (3-23 CE) -coins in excellent condition. This brief reign is of historical significance as it marks the transition from the Western Han to Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Wang Mang was a Han noble who overthrew Western Han government and tried to institute many social and political reforms, among which was the currency system. His reign was short and apparently disastrous. Note scale is in centimeters.
