48 twa (Themiclesian coin)

The 48 twa or gold two rang was a Themiclesian gold coin issued regularly from the 9th century until 1910. It contained 38.4 g of fine gold and was the heaviest gold coin minted by Themiclesia intended for general circulation. It is only eclipsed by the 60 twa piece, minted several times in the 19th century, as a commemorative coin upon an Emperor's silver jubilee of 30 regnal years.

Its customary legend was "pure gold weighing 48 twa" (屯黃重卌又八朱), hence the name of the coin.
