This is supposed to be HU-PEH PROVINCE Y# 131, Circa 1909-1911, 27 grams and .900 Silver. Either this is a rare mis-strike or a good copy with a mistake in spelling. My guess is that this is a copy.

echizento, I thought the same thing, but the reverse characters are different from Y#131. Nonetheless, if it is real, it should weigh 27 grams. If it weighs 27 grams, then this may be an unlisted type.

G'day,
"He-Peh" is not, apparently, a recognized Wade-Giles spelling.
After 1949, the Wade-Giles system was replaced by Pinyin, so far as the PRC is concerned.
He-Peh is most likely Hebei, a northern province.
It might be Hubei, a central province, which lies on the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang).
It will be interesting to discover the weight ...

Hubei Province =/= Shangdong Province :( Can you get a refund? If you want fake Chinese coins, I can bring you an entire bag if you'd like
