This unusual Chinese I just picked up at a flea market the other day, but couldn't find its ID. It appears like a 20 cash so I wonder if it is a trial strike of a coin that never came into being, or may be just a strange counterfeit. I guess the approximate age to be from around 1912 to 1930 period or so based on the other circulating Chinese coins of the period.
Weight: 12.55g (got me a new scale )
Diameter: 33.5mm

It is in the position, and about 20 degrees rotated...

It looks very similar in appearance to this 2 Jiao from Yunnan Province, but yours is much larger than the dimensions listed.

Pardon if my translation may be off, Pic 1 top row Yunnan Province, center characters half yuan silver dollar, bottom row 3 Mace and 6 Candareens. Pic 2 Province of the Republic of China year 21.

I think this is what you're looking for...https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22331.html

Based on the source of purchase, slightly off weight, and stylistic difference in some of the design elements, I would be concerned that you have a fake.

Please confirm that a strong magnet is not attracted to this piece. Thx.

This is the fake in my collection.
Looks different.
I think it's supposed to be LM430 or maybe one of the different styles of Kann#771
