Griffin Coins Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 08/07/2010 01:59 am If it were real, it would be catalog number Y#45.3. weighs 27.1 grams, and would be .900 silver. It does however look to be a facsimile. I am not sure if GX has more reasons why, however, to me, the wearing in the fields don't seem to look right if it were silver. Report this Post to the Staff

Y#45.3 is year 24 (1898). This coin is dated year 23 (1897), which is Y#45.1, and would be much rarer if it were real. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
Rayhaldo Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 08/09/2010 7:28 pm Too bad your coin is not authentic. I have an authentic 1911 China Yunnan 50 Cent Silver Dragon. The dragon design is the same as on your coin. I really like the dragon design. Report this Post to the Staff
