Looks genuine to me. Mintmark placement is consistent, and aging is accurate. Wonderful find!!
What are you planning to do with this coin?

Amazing coin. Even with the mount this is probably worth 20,000 yuan. Second the recommendation to look into having the mount removed by someone who really knows what they're doing. Congrats!

Wow, unbelievable score. Loop is unfortunate but still worth thousands. Find a reputable jeweler and see if they can remove it. Make sure to tell them not to clean, treat or otherwise damage it - just removing the mount. then send it to PCGS/NGC for encapsulation!

I wouldn't trust a jeweler to do it, because they most likely won't know basic coin preservation. I'd do some hardcore digging to see if someone in the coin game could do it, otherwise I'd probably do it myself.

I'm late in seeing this post, but that's an absolutely incredible find, Wan! As others have said, removal of the ring by a numismatic restoration/repair specialist would be highly recommended.
