So I bought this on eBay for 50€ with the description: “RARE Monnaie, 200 Cash 1934 Szechuan-Shensi Soviet - 1960 RESTRIKE - CHINA”: N#17833

 

When I received the coin, I measured it at 28 mm diameter and about 1 mm thickness, while the restrike - according to the Numista page - is supposed to be 30 mm wide and 6.7 mm (!!) thick.

 

However the vendor assured me it was indeed from the 1960 and an official restrike, not a cheap recent counterfeit. He told me he got it from a reliable source. He seems credible in terms of rating and his other listings.

 

Indeed this listing he showed me on VCoins is described with a 28 mm diameter and my item does look like those pictures (not as shiny):

Should it be clarified that there are other types of restrikes? Are there more informations out there about those other dimensions restrikes?

The page originally had measurements you mentioned. I guess new ones are wrong, please make a change requests, adding your sources.

At the moment I don't have much more sources than the VCoins link (but it only lists the diameter and not the thickness) and the item I own. It's not super easy to find references. Maybe someone who speaks Chinese would find more information?

 

I'll try to dig a little.
