Kiau Chau-German held territory in China 1897-1914. The coin appears good- the metal is copper-nickel,so the greenish copper spots could appear. I am not familiar with the purple or white colouring on copper-nickel (more usually on zinc or on tin) but it certainly is possible. I don't see anything that would make it a forgery.
