Beware good quality fakes!
Looks OK at first glance, but if you are a bit 'sus' about it yourself, take it to a professional who is familiar with them.

My quick search didn't turn it up, and as sel_69l mentions beware of fakes.

It claims to be a 1 tael coin, dated with the cyclical year-equivalent of AD 1907. No province is named.

Most "1 tael coins" never made it past the "pattern" stage, as the Chinese government decided to adopt the "dollar" as its currency unit, rather than the tael. Most such patterns were actually made in Europe and genuine examples of them were never found in China until much later.

...it tests Silver...

We do have to ask, how was it "tested"? Because these fake/fantasy Chinese dollars rarely are actually made of silver.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
