I too believe it is from China. Wish I didn't have to head to work or I'd try to find it. Someone will be along soon.

I would check it with a magnet. A hundred-year-old genuine Chinese silver dollar isn't going to be just lying around outside, whatever country you live in. But a fake one just might be. This one is covered in brown spots that make me think it's made of steel, not silver.

This one is covered in brown spots that make me think it's made of steel, not silver. I agree. Try a magnet or one of the many silver tests (search youtube for 'silver coin test') The details are rather crude. And if a coin is rare, scarce or valuable, the Chinese make forgeries/copies/replica's. https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/chi...ring-4071202

I have 5 or more fakes of this type. Yours is a good match for one of them.
