Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 12:32 am Republic of China year 12 (1923), one yuan. .900 silver. I'm sorry can't confirm the authenticity since I know nothing about Chinese coins except to read them. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10362.html Edited by Altaira 09/22/2014 12:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 02:56 am Not genuine. Very likely not to be silver. I say you return it back to the seller immediately.

Coinpicker New Member Canada 29 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 11:06 pm One obvious problem is that the ROC Year 12 is purposely incorrect so the forgers would not be charged with counterfeiting. It was part of a one year set of coins to celebrate the last emperor's wedding. Should be ROC year 15 (1926). Cheers! CP Report this Post to the Staff
