My Antique Collection

This dragon is genuine Han dynasty period. It belongs to the Emperor. In ancient China, a dragon can only be owned by the Emperor himself and no one else. The dragon was "taken out" by an Isralie from the Louyang excavation site and flown to Israel and then came to my possesion. The dragon is 2000 years old and it is believed only one exsisted today. It is the symbol of Power, Strength and Honour!

Malaya Terengganu Intact Tin Pitis Money Tree - Rare

This is a tin money tree issued by Malaya State Terengganu in 17-18 th Century.

The tin money tree is intact and consists of 13 coins.

The coin diameter is 20mm and tree is about 200mm in length.

The tin pitis, which were cast in the form of “coin trees” were also issued. The tin coin trees were produced by the use of moulds adapted from those used by the Chinese to cast copper coins. The coins were broken off from their branches to be used as cash, and the unused metal of the tree was then re-smelted in the next casting

In the tree's set of each coins have its own different value, however they have almost the same measurement each:

( The Reign of the Just Ruler )
- Reverse : Blank
- Edge : Plain
- Weight : 2.20 grammes
- Diameter : 20mm
