The name Xianfeng Year 6 Shanghai-Cast Silver Cake is supported by the exact product name and the visible markings on the coin on the photographed item. Do not infer missing wording from an accessory alone.
Photographs and condition
Follow the complete view with close-ups of obverse, reverse, edge, denomination, date, mint marks, weight, diameter, holder and certificate. Show the complete item once before adding tightly framed details.

Storage, accessories and handover
Until Hong Kang advises the next step, leave each coin in its current holder or capsule. Do not clean, polish or test the surface, and handle it only by the edge when necessary.
