Technically, the British Trade Dollars did have legal tender status in Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements at the time.

The head of the dragon on the 1898 Kirin dollar also has a different design than the fake one.

Quite a find! Krause should really just catalogue this series as "Russo-Korean Bank" instead.

I googled a bit in Chinese and I also can't find this Tianqi variant. Maybe it's a replica made as a luck token, or a unrecorded variant. Perhaps checking its metal composition in comparison to other Tianqi Tongbao could help?

I think Hartill mentioned that most of the Japanese made Yuanfeng Tongbao (Genpo Tsuho in Japanese) were in regular or clerical script rather than seal script. So this is probably a Song Dynasty import. Looks like it's the larger 2 cash version in 29mm diameter (H#16.223).
