Hey, welcome to The Forum!
To answer your question, I will provide 2 premises:
1. What you have written as "Teal" is actually spelled "Tael." This is a unit of measurement meant to weight precious metals. In China, this also denotes monetary value
2. The weight of a Tael varied a LOT in China, from about 30 grams all the way to 50 grams. However, in one instance, it's 37.08 grams. (A 0.72 tael coin, the dragon dollar, weighs 26.7g, so doing the math, 1 tael = 26.7g/0.72 = 37.08)
That being said, I don't know for sure if your coin is real or fake based on its weight. However, doing a magnet test would be a more conclusive test for silver content.
Do you have a strong neodymium magnet to do this test with?
