Sorry, robamka, but for all intents and purposes, they are the same. The inscriptions are the same four characters, and the only genuine cash coins with these characters are the super-scarce Xi Xia coins manymore linked to. Yours, with the curious "third leg" attached to the Bao character, is a very close match for this one; I'm pretty sure everything being offered for sale by that "dealer" is fake.

Thank You Sap!
I see the 3rd leg ...I appreciate the clear explanation.
I've never bought a coin before and this one cost me 2 $ so all is well.
I have a penchant for vases and when a vase is fake there is a clear reason as to why...the rim, the base and most of the time the shade of the colours ! I just couldn't see it with this coin.

Thanks again !
