Ha you guys are funny.

It's a fake Jilin (Kirin) 3 Ch'ien (Y#170). It has nothing to do with Nepal or Bhutan. I'd check the weight and all the other specifications just to make sure it's not real. It weighs 10.8 grams.

The first picture has Chinese seal script and the second had the same but with either Manchu or Mongolian around.

They're the same thing. Except Mongolia uses Cyrillic now.

The script might be the same but the language is not, as its connection with Mongolian is not satisfactory connected or other Altaic languages.

That's true for all Asian languages.

For example, 大 (big) is dai, da, dae, and day in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese respectively. They use the same script, which is Chinese characters, but they sound different, in some shape or form.

Thanks guys, I'll just search the catalogue on my own from now on. ;)

This is close enough for a visual, I'll tell him it's probably a fake of something similar, that will do.

Ask him to use a magnet and check the rims.

To me it looks like nickel. The tael looks similar but it's not the exact coin. I think they have an image of the coin on Numismaster.

That's ok, thanks. I pointed him in the right direction with 1 and 1/2 tael links, that's enough from me.
