While the reverse side says in English that the coin was made in "Kiangnan Province" (江南省), the obverse side states in Chinese that it was made in Yunnan Province ('南省).
Also, no coins with the inscription xuan tong yuan bao (宣统.宝) and a denomination of "7 mace and 2 candareens" were ever minted in Kiangnan Province.
For these reasons as well as the issues already mentioned, the coin is clearly a poorly-made "fake".
