enzeno Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 12:16 pm Hello, I could use some help here - ebay is restricting the listing of this coin for an unknown reason to me - and I would love some education as to why if anyone would not mind taking the time to do so. I have researched this and have no reason to believe it is a replica. Thanks in advance for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

I only own a handful of oriental coins so far from an expert, but at first glance everything looks off on this one. the fonts & devices aren't sharp. the top dragon alone looks more like woody the woodpecker than a dragon. everything just looks cartoonish (beyond circulation wear) and the colour is typical of offshore imports (fakes).

This is a year where lots of private 'mints' setup to strike nickel copper coins for cheap and make fat profit. Still collectable as far as I'm aware. The only reason that the listing might get blocked is if you accidentally classify it coming from North Korea which will get blocked.
