Method for identifying the authenticity of Yuan Datou silver coins

(1) Look

Look at the pattern: The real coin uses moderate pressure cold pressing to stamp the silver coin out of various words, patterns and patterns. Its color is bright and natural, the grain decoration is moderate, the spacing is dense and consistent, and the edge line thickness is uniform. Subtleties such as portraits, hair strands, and spikes are clear and undisturbed.

Look at the size: the weight of the counterfeit coin and the weight of the real thing are the same, but the volume is slightly larger than the real circle. The reason is that the counterfeit silver is not pure, the machine pressure is insufficient, the density is not enough, and in order to make the same weight as the real thing, the counterfeit money must find a way in terms of volume to achieve the same weight as the real thing.
