I've searched google for a coin like mine, but none of them have the Szechuen province written on them. Is it real? Is it worth anything?

While there are genuine coins with this design - see here for examples - and they're not particularly scarce, yours is not a genuine coin. On the obverse (Chinese language side), the characters are flat and poorly drawn, and the name of the province at the top is actually wrong - according to the Chinese side, this is a Kweichow Province coin. This example on zeno.ru is also fake, and also has the "wrong province" on the obverse.

Your coin also appears to be rusting; I suspect this coin is made of steel not silver, and would stick to a magnet.

Thanks so much for the quick reply, Sap. I'm sorry that it isn't real, so I guess I'll just have to give it away. lol

EDIT: it does stick to a magnet, lol
