Replica of a lead coin tally issued in the Lin An Prefecture 1260-64
Obv; Lin An Fu Xing Yong ([For] Lin An Prefecture use)
Rev: Zhun Yi Shi Wen Sheng (Equal to 10 cash reduced)
Length 44.5mm, 7.5g (the real thing being lead might be heavier)
Hartill 17.900
An accurate copy with a nice grey patina. It originally had some soil encrustation on it as well, but this soon fell off.
I keep this in my collection as I will probably never see the real thing, and even if I did, I would be unable to afford it. Hartill gives it a rarity rating of 2 ($2000)
