Supposed to be a British Trade dollar (1895-1935).
Krause says it should weigh 26.9568g (.900 silver; 0.78 oz ASW).

Yep, at 18 grams, it's way too light to be genuine. Most likely a modern Chinese replica.

I know its been said on here before about these things but everytime one shows up I think it should be said again, these things are copied about as much as the US Trade dollar so one should be sure you are buying from a reputable source that has a great return policy if buying raw just as you should with the US version
