Older silver from China [opgelost]

Once more to show, I have looked up but to double check please

Compare to a genuine coin

N#16256

The coin I have is not genuine? I thought just a different style…

When I say “compare”, I say check the diameter, weight and verify if it's actually silver (ping test, magnetism).

It's a rare coin with many copies.

Then when you're sure dimensions, weight and material are OK, we can begin to compare calligraphies and general design.

Thank you. I still need to get a scale, but understand now what you meant. The ping test, yes, silver coin. Appreciate your time!

With coins like this, the first assumption is counterfeit until proven otherwise.

Wow, again, I had no idea, thank you rsirian
