Very rare, as is the Seed 100 Mun. Authentic in every way but rarely they are found cast in a billon metal (greater than 50% copper with silver). Additionally, this one appears to have been silvered with about 75% remaining. KM# 143. Usually they are found cast in copper or a yellow brass like metal. 40 mm x 3 mm, a rather large and thick example. 26.76 g. In this photo has the Obverse/Reverse images are flipped.
