I know this is most likely fake as it is only 21 grams and the symbols on the back don't match what I've see on other authentic coins, but I was hoping someone could tell me what the symbols actually say on mine. It does not stick to a magnet. Thanks for your help
Looks like the fake makers tried to make MADE IN HU NAN PROVINCE (upper). The outer middle is KUANG HSU YUAN PAO ( Kuang Hsu Valuable Coin ) repeated in Manchu in center. The lower is KU 'PING (standard) 7 MACE 2 CANDAREENS. So the Obverse legend being Hunan fails to be the same province ( Hupeh) on the reverse. The only smoking gun here is the wrong HU NAN. The others are right for the coin. Certainly we know it's fake, but that's what your characters are.
