This is supposed to be a Szechuen Province silver coin, but it has the character T'ong on it meaning copper instead of the character Yin meaning silver as it should.

I know it's not genuine. But it can be interesting to discover what is correct and what is wrong.
In this case Made by Military Government and Twenty Cents are right.
But SZE CHUEN COPPER COIN doesn't belong on a piece that is supposed to be silver.
I'm only pointing out some of the things I find that the makers of the fakes get wrong.

Here is what that SZE CHUEN COPPER COIN legend looks like on a genuine copper coin. In the first post, the fake makers put it on what is supposed to be a silver coin.
