China - Tai Ping Rebels

Here is a rare example of a Tai Ping Rebellion issue in lead. The very early Tai Pings are thought to have cast their first coins in lead before they established mint facilities around Nanking. This may be an example of those types, the museum has another example that's easier to make out the features on. Typical inscription on both sides. 7.45 gm at ~26.5 mm
