日本 天正長大判金 玩賞品 約164.2g 約46.96%

One of the most famous Japanese coins and most expensive. For all but a few collectors, a real Tensho Naga Oban is out of reach, but a sought-after treasure. This lot is a contemporary imitation, which can fill the gap for a budget-minded collector. The gold purity is less than the original of 73%. The stamps and calligraphy styles are also a bit off. (Gold 46.96%, Silver 53.09%) Weight 164.2g.
