"Wrong date" fantasy coins are often made in China, but most of these fake Indochinese pieces are "home-grown", made in Vietnam, and sold to tourists.
But yes, given that Albert D. Barre - the coin engraver whose name appears to the left of the date - was only 10 years old in 1828, it is safe to assume this is a fantasy, and not some kind of trial, pattern or proof. I'd also think the Paris Mint would do a better job at making sure the date-digits lined up properly and were properly centred.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
