For a better reply turn the bottom pic from upside down, add more light on the dark characters and focus.
Most likely a replica of Yunnan Province, 7 Mace 2 Candareens.
It is also too heavy to be genuine.

Is yellow the actual colour? The real one is silver, so that alone would prove that it is not original.

I also thought it looks yellow like brass, but I know the color temperature of the light source, as well as being low, appears as yellow.

Many of these base-metal Chinese fakes look kind-of-silvery in hand, but when you take a picture they look yellowish. Genuine silver rarely photographs that colour.
