Hello,

I've been researching this coin that was picked up on travels a good few years ago. Can someone help if this is genuine or not please?

The weight is between 26 and 27 grams and it is not magnetic. I do think it looks too perfect which makes me think that it is a fake.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help

100% fake.

While the description says that it's from Guangdong Province (Kwangtung), the reverse says that it's from Shaanxi (Shensi) Province.

Well at least it's a straightforward fake, some collector's I know call it an "ethical" fake.
