Hard to determine exact Rengjeo type due to weakness in the characteristic areas, though the distinguishing criteria for these variants are typically just sigla in the forms of dots or stars. However, this specimen is remarkable as clearly one of the heaviest grosh of its kind (given that very few published specimens reach even 2 g).
