Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 07:25 am Indeed difficult to say. And there are indeed many many fakes or replicas of chinese coins. Yours has the cyclic date 21 (1932 AD) http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/...-duid-123290 But the Original coin is rather expensive, so that could mean that it is a fake. Expensive coins are faked a lot. If you can give the weight and dimension and if you do the silver tests that would help. The silver tests can be fund on this site. Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 10:17 am The portrait looks all wrong, the water lines look incredibly off and the overall colour looks too yellowish. I'd say it a replica, as it looks too crude to be a counterfeit, in my opinion. Edited by X2an 07/24/2015 10:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 10:25 am I agree on fake. The portrait is too mushy and the reverse looks quite crude. Here's an example on how it should look like: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17825.html Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 8:06 pm Confirming it's a fake. One of the cruder ones, with the sun-rays that don't actually line up on either side of the ship. See my comparison pictures in this old thread for an example of what I mean. 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 Report this Post to the Staff
