According to NGC, this is the 8th most counterfeited
Chinese coin out there and this is one of them.
Also the weight should be 26.9g, .3g heavier. A big difference for a silver coin.

There are several markers indicating it is counterfeit but
one of the easier ones to spot is the inconsistency in the size
and spacing of the circle of beads, especially on the reverse.
Too bad you don't have it in hand to give it a magnet test.
