Please compare your coin with original one here https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3722.html
To my mind it is definately a fake....a crown from your coin differ from original one
I would say it is copy with rather poor quality...

The quality is in very fine condition and also the dia is 30.6mm and 11.6g grams .All are matching my only concern is the 1 which is at two places in the coin.I zoomed the crown not much of a difference. Looking forward for some more help from other as well.
Even on poor quality original coins crown and flowers look differ from your picture
Compare your coin with this picture. Quality is fine but crown and flowers looks much better

Compare your coin with this picture (taken from internet just to see the differences)
You taken from the net is 100% fake but the one which i have posted is with me .Also 1 can denote the first coin for the year 1907 which is by mistake which i assumed.I have inherited these coins from my grandfather and i assume that at that period people would not indulge in fake.
Try some silver tests:
ping test
ice test
magnet test (non magnetic coin does not mean it is real)
neodymium test
....
Compare with pictures of coins that are real.
If a coin has some value, or if it is rare, the chinese make copies/replicas/forgeries https://www.thespruce.com/chinese-coin-counterfeiting-ring-4071202
To me it looks like a chinese replica.
The flowers are crude in details, the crown is different, the denting on the edge is bad made.....

That is execly what I tried to say....
I'm sure it is a cast fake coin, it was not minted....
It doesn't pass a main test - a visual one!
I stop discussing.
I think you know better history of this coin and I said all I have to say about it.
