I think it is another version of a typical Chinese made fake having a different legend.

Thanks a lot.... good to know that it's a replica!

But than again I have this which seems to be a bit different especially in the outer edge which is narrow..

Is there a flying dragon on the back?
Probably another fake perhaps also having the other side that doesn't belong.
I think coins or medals like this should be silver and I'll wager yours could be 20% low weight and not silver.

Better to treat it a fantasy issue as I don't think they have enough weight. I don't say it is fake.

I would not put this item in the same category as a fantasy issue, unless the usage of the term "fantasy issue" is not well understood.
Without knowing the other side, my guess is a base metal imitation of a mint sport, fantasy issue, or a medal. That image of Yuan Shih-kai is present on a number of them.
