Large brass”coin” from Singapore
« on: July 01, 2019, 07:28:55 pm »
My son’s girlfriend at the time ( 20 some years ago) sent him this from Singapore.  It’ s big; 119mm and too heavy for my scale.  I assume it is a piece for tourists, but was wondering if anyone could read the symbols before I take it to the thrift store.  Thanks
