Vern's Comments:

This has the weight and other characteristics that would indicate it is silver. If so, as of now it increased in simple melt value 20x in the past two years (purchased 9/2024). It clocks in at 182 grams or about 6.42 ounces. This is roughly the weight of 5 taels.

Though I dated it 1796 it could be any date up to 1820.
