Fung Lai Chun, Gold Dealer gold Tael Ingot ND (c. 1930s) AU, KM-XB16 var. (there, with square obverse stamp and two stamps on reverse). 25mm. 37.44gm. Not stamped with gold fineness, though likely high-purity gold, as most private ingots of this era are around 0.9999 pure. An interesting variation on the type recorded in the Standard Catalog Unusual volume, featuring an ancient pu (spade) stamp on the obverse, and two reverse stamps with a lion motif.
