日本 元禄大判金 玩賞品 約165.2g 約30.1%

One of the best known Japanese coin types is the gold oban. Most collectors only see these in museums and this contemporary imitation can fill the gap for a budget-minded collector. The gold purity is less than the original of 52.1%. The stamps and calligraphy styles are also a bit off. (Gold 30.1%, Silver 69.96%) Weight 165.2g.
