Comment
The date 1937 is a replication of authentic coins dated 1937 which were made of silver 0.680 purity, 5.4 grams. These reproduction pieces are 100% aluminium.Due to the cost of silver, many of the traditional silver coins used on clothing pieces of Hmong have reverted to cheaper metal options, and the Diaspora Hmong community maintains their traditional customs and metal working with the use of aluminium reproduction pieces.
