Taiwan Coin

4 posts
I need some of your kind expert assistance in trying to identify this coin. I believe it is from Taiwan based on the lettering and style. However, I can't find it in the Numista catalogue for any of the asian issuers.



Diameter: 17.9mm
Weight: 2.66g
Edge: Reeded
It should be this coin: 1 Jiao - Republic China, Guandong Province (Kwangtung):

But weight and diameter are not a perfect match.
Great thanks! Is passes a sliding magnet test so could be silver or at least silver plated. But as you say, the weight and size are off.

​Essor Prof is right, it is strange that your coin should have such a disparity in size. Perhaps a contemporary imitation of sorts?
