[QUOTE="khl889, post: 238234, member: 104"]This is marked 天津 寶恆誠 "Tianjin, Bao Heng Cheng" and 紋銀 "[I]wen yin[/I]," which usually indicates silver content of about 92.5 to 93.5 percent. There's also the character 辛 "[I]xin[/I]" stamped at the top, and another character stamped at the bottom, which I can't make out. Note that Bao Heng Cheng is the modern romanization of those characters. The name would probably have been romanized differently decades ago.[/QUOTE]
