LOT SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS.

This unusual large coin bears a legend used by the Jīn dynasty in the late 1180s, but combining the cyclical dates for 1188 and 1189 on the reverse. It has been suggested to be an early Yuán dynasty issue for use in the former Jīn territories, or perhaps a later fantasy.
