MAJOR DIE BREAK COPPER CASH
Major Die Break On A Copper Coin
Rarity:RRRR
Since I bought this Major Die Break copper coin from Silmon Loo on 14th June 2013, I have no clue yet to certain the origin of its country.
I bought it during my recent trip to Kuantan to attend the Error Coin Seminar on 15-6-2013, organised by Kelab Warisan Numismatik Malaysia Kuantan (KWNM). Mr.Silmon Loo,a committee member of KWNM was kind enough to sell this unique piece, a bi-product of major die break copper cash to me
Mr.Silmon told me he got it from a dealer from Kelantan, may be it is a Siamese's copper coin.When I consulted Mr Tan Tai Seng, the Pakar Numismatik of Malaysia (PNM), he told me this is not a Siamese's coin because Simese's coins were always made of tin like Malay State Sultanate tin coins.
He claimed it is likely a Vitnamese or Laos's coin. When I met a Siamese friend,he double confirmed with me that it is not a Siamese's coin. An Indian neighbour told me it was writen in Taimil. Last Sunday, I showed this coin to my friend who stayed in Vietnam for many years, he told me it should be a Burma coin. Yesterday, I took it to show to a group of Burmese friends, they claimed that this is not a Burma coin. They suggested to me to consult someone who know Laos or Cambodia writing. For this, I seek your help to find me someone to can tell me where was this coin come from?
This unknown coin, indeed is a very unique Major Die Break coin. It was a casted coin, the copper fluid seeped into a big crack on the die, it solidified and formed fin liked extra metals attached perpendicular on the surface of the coin. Looked like it was discarded as a impaired coin.
Thank you so much to Mr.Silmon Loo for allowing me to inherit his collection but what bothered me now is to find its birth place, please help............
