It's 20.97 grams and the only other I could find on numista is 28? The width seems about right...couldn't really find any other sources.   |

Being 25% underweight does not bode well for the authenticity of your coin.

Absolutely 100% fake, sorry.
There is also a zero percent chance this contains any silver.

The rough surface and slight bulbous text also does not bode well

Deliberate fake.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. I think I have a different coin that's probably fake that I'll post too. I just like to make sure before I toss it.

Don't discard this fake coin.
Start a 'black' collection with it, for self education purposes,
to know how to identify fake coin generally, before deciding on your next purchase.
I maintain a 'black' collection of about 100 pieces across the whole of numismatics, for my self education.
You have to learn how to beat the fakers against their own game.

Yeah, I can make a collection. I have kept Canadian more for fun but foreign I don't really buy its just because I buy in bulk and things like this get thrown in.

Apart from spelling- take a look at the Chinese legend.
It may be correct for present day Hebei, but it should not exist on an authentic dragon dollar.
