[QUOTE="paleblue, post: 239493, member: 4717"]Maybe i can help with the translation (yes, i know Chinese). The engraving says it is from Taiwan when it was a province of ancient China. It is Silver bar (used as money) 50 tael. 1 ancient tael is equal to 34g. so maybe you can tell from the weight if it could be silver? Or maybe get it tested? One thing doesn’t make sense to me is that the name on the back actually refers to a place in mainland china. I don’t know why.[/QUOTE]
