Thats very nice, interesting piece of work.  

Though I also think the term "coin" is getting stretched, and remain befuddled why the status is so important.  Something like this should sell on its own merit.

Judging from the shape of the hole probably is the leftover after stamping 2 coins out of it

Very pretty, obviously made for the Chinese market, £116, anyone tempted?

Well assuming the German and allied dealers stock it, that this double doughnut is a coin, rather than something else, means they will be able to sell it 'VAT free'.

Not too bad of a deal at 125 euros plus shipping.

I guess they must know there's a big enough market in China is they're making these, as pointed out already, they love the number 8 

[flim]

they do look like the double dollars with double dumps。but the dumps are missing.

it's not pieces of 16

twin joint at the back

I don't want it 

it's another dragon coins

It seems to be selling well.. emk sold out of stock, power coin low stock others too and it's only just been released. It looks a good piece. Worth a punt.

My favourite things themes are dragons my lucky number is 8 but these are nasty

I ordered 2 of these from EMK just had a email saying that shipping date will be after 30th November. Any body know if there has been a first batch already sent out to customers. I ordered mine on 7th of November. 

Is this length of time for delivery normal with EMK. I can't remember them saying pre sale.

Would have been a presale.  Presales are normally listed as "coming soon" and inside the listing it will have the release date along with an estimate of delivery time to them after release.

Availability

coming soon

Release date
