Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me identify if the coin pictured below is a copy. The only thing I know is that this is known as kwang-tung province coin 7 mace and 2 candareens coin and originated from China.

Just based on the given pictures, it may be hard to say if it's a copy or not.
I always like to find out if it's silver first and go from there.
But the pictures don't tell me that.
Can you provide accurate measures along with the weight?
Maybe much better quality pictures too or not?

Hello and welcome.

There are so many fake Chinese dollars around, it's always best to assume it's fake, until proven otherwise.

A quick test: does it stick to a magnet? If it does, then it's a steel fake.

"Where it came from" is another key indication. If it didn't come from a reputable coin dealer (who would have charged you a couple thousand dollars for it), or an expert collector in Chinese coins (who would likewise have asked for over a thousand dollars for it), or someone who can prove their ancestors acquired it in China in 1900, then the assumption would be that it's fake.

If you bought it from a tourist trap in China, or from a street market in Chinatown in your typical Western city, then it's definitely fake.

It looks like a dollar which would be Y-203 in Krause, would weigh 27 grams and be 90% silver. But as others have implied - it looks like one of the many fakes our there.
