All of these "sophisticated" articles etc. blah blah blah all around it, but no one says how big it was. It seems bigger than the Morgan - but it must have been smaller than the US trade dollar - we wanted a dollar to outcompete all the many similarly sized coins, esp. in the Orient. So ... how big was the BTD? Thanks Does anyone know the weight, in grains, of a British Trade Dollar.

So … how big was the BTD?
