Though many Kirin Province dollars bear a Chinese cyclical date, this one does not. Krause reports an undated version of this dollar as being struck in 1906 (KM/Y# 183.4).

The one with a portrait isn't technically a "counterfeit", since there was never a genuine coin with this design to begin with. It's a "fantasy"; you can buy them with the portraits and regnal dates of each of the Qing Dynasty emperors.
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

i always though the portrait one was just these fake they sale to turists over asia but this candarins is so complex I have it per years and not even the chineses from the restaurant where I used to work could not help to date this coin they just told me that could be old ! I dont think is that old because of the english inscription on it , is more like during some british ocupation maybe 20 century I'mnot sure . hope somebody will come up with someting about it .

As Sap has already said - it was struck in 1906

Not sure what it's imitating, but that's not a Kirin reverse.

I disagree with the first coin - if you can read the Chinese characters, it says that it's struck in Liaoling which technically never struck coins under that name. The previously known name is Fengtien. Of course to top up with the nonsense, it is muled with a Kirin die. Clearly fantasy.

Chinese character for

Liaoling: e寧
Kirin (Jilin): 吉-
