cf. L&M-1075. Dimensions: 19x12mm; Weight: 15.60 gms. The obverse stamps relate the serial number (BA20569), the fineness (985.5), and the weight in taels (.500), while the reverse merely bears an image of spade money. An interesting reverse variant, offering great brilliance and no evidence of handling.
