I can't identify this coin/token. I assume it is Chinese.
Diameter about 33mm. Weight 11.1g
Quite distinctive but what ?
Cheers

Thanks, at least I know it exists.
Does anyone have any further information about it ?

Actually this is a coin from Tibet. Not exactly a token. Also, unfortunately, there are modern reproductions of the original coins of Tibet. I hope this helps. You can check all coins from Tibet.

Kind regards,

In Singapore, I saw a lot of these coins - replicas. Either bust is reversed or very crude. Otherwise I bought a couple of those just to research them - metal, etc.

I found out that 2 were fakes - magnetic
1 was okay but eventually I took it to a specialist and after reviewing it, it turned out that it was a thick silver bath, covering it.

Kind regards,

It's a fake.
Just tested it with a magnet and it stuck firmly.
I'll throw it in the bin.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers

Sorry to hear that.

Hey, it's cool, it happens, Sometimes all of us get burnt by fake coins :))
Keep looking!
