It is a reproduction of a very rare Chinese silver coin dated 1889 (Guangxu 15th year) produced at the Jiangsu mint with a denomination of one yuan. An authentic specimen of the coin is in the collection of the National Museum of China. Fakes of this coin are quite common such as this example which is very similar to the OP's coin.

teevee New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 10:48 pm Thank you for that information. I scoured the internet and found only one reference to that so that confirms what the coin is replicating. and I don't doubt its a fake after looking closely at your original. is this considered a fantasy coin and does it have any value as anything other than a good luck piece thanks tom Report this Post to the Staff
