Hello there. First, please excuse my poor pics of my silver coin. In view it is a beautiful silver color. I have searched everywhere on the internet, and although I can find coins that look similar to mine, I cannot find one with the exact markings. *It is marked 7 MACE Can anyone tell me anything about this coin? Thank you so much in advance.
Unfortunately, there was no Canton silver made with that design of 2 dragons on the bottom. The weight of Chinese silvers should be 7 mace 2 candereens, 3.6, or something like that but never 7. The row of 4 characters on the top is also quite crude and mushy compared to a genuine Canton Guangxu dollar.
I would think this is a crude modern imitation, but the best way to tell is by weighing it.
**Although it may be due to the lighting of the pics, your coin appears to be a bit too yellow to be silver. I took a few pics of my really good copies, and you can definitely see a yellow tinge.
