Saw this on ebay for a pretty reasonable price, want to buy it but not 100% sure it's real.

Description says it's a 1 mace and 4.4 candareens coin of the Xuantong Emperor made between 1909 and 1911 in Guangdong province.

I've searched for other pictures of the coin, and I don't see any
signs of being fake.

I'm not really sure, any thoughts or opinions please share.

Thanks!

Apologies for the blurry picture, it was the only other image included in the listing.

Almost 95 million were struck, so it's not any sort of rarity. That said, it may still well be a phony. Both the luster & the crudely aligned letters in the legend make me suspicious. If it's sourced out of China, I'd definitely pass on it.

probably real, however fake do exist still so beware. Photo is blurry on the reverse so can't be confident on my assessment. Usually can tell via the dragon's details if real or fake (not always).
