I was given these by a friend. Are they real or fake?

Modern fakes/replicas found by the kilo.
Little or no value   8~

Here are some of mine, perhaps it can help you

I got one of the fakes when I first started collecting, they all seem to have subtle differences, mine was "He Peh" province where as the real coin is "Hu  Peh".

I see these everywhere, but they can be pleasing to the eye, even if they are fake.

if it's Chinese and supposed to be silver....99.9% of the time they seem to be fakes, that's why I don't touch them.

There are many ways to test whether a coin is silver.
The safest and simplest is the "ice cube test" :8D

Much more simple is the 'ring' test

Some fakes are silver though.  If it's a really expensive coin, worth hundreds of dollars then often the forgery is done in silver too.

Citeer: PetrusAscanusMuch more simple is the 'ring' test
Even more simple is the magnet test (or just a look at the reeding on the edge)

Definitely all fakes, we did it Numista!

Indeed Kenny, but most of the fakes are non magnetic.
I have a little collection of these fakes and only two are magnetic
