Weight Issue - 6 tien ? [gelöst]

Would the weight of this coin be consider 6 Tien?  

6 Tien should be between 23 to 24 grams. 

7 Tien should be between 27 to 28 grams. 

My understanding is this - silver 1 Tien (money ) BARS could vary in weight between roughly 3-4 grams. 1 silver Tien (money) COIN should weigh approximately 3.78g.

1 Tien 3.78g

5 Tien x 3.78 = 18.9g

6 Tien x 3.78 = 22.68g

7 Tien x 3.78 = 26.46g

8 Tien x 3.78 = 30.24g

So yes, I agree that there is conflicting information about these type coins and there needs to some corroboration and corrections on the pages.

Unfortunately, no member on Numista seems to have examples to corroborate.

You are correct regarding the weights:

I made a cheat sheet for a more accurate way to determine where the coin/medal should be categorized as:

I think the diameter of these coins needs some more investigation as well.

I think the diameter of these coins needs some more investigation as well.

That would be nice; However, most auction descriptions lack the diameter (mm).  It bad enough that some auction sites misclassify the ruler or the denomination. 🙄

Here is one example documented for the 7 Tien. Diameter verified but weight as we suspected.

I am having much difficulty finding additional specifics on the 5 and 6 Tien denominations other than what Numista has.
