Can anyone tell me what this is? Is it legit? How do I verify that it isn't counterfeit and actually silver? It's huge.

Appreciate this. If the weight matches would you say its definitely legit and also authentic silver?

 

OP's coin says "5 OZ", Numista coin has "50元"

There's only one way to find out, take it over to a coin shop or jewelry shop to have it scanned with an XRF scanner.

 

derker has given an important hint.

Classic Chinese 'imitation'.

 

Ahhhh good notice. Sooo what do you think this is worth? Is it even silver?

 

Yeah, it's 50 yuan, not 5 oz. I'm guessing that was on purpose as sort of a Dan Carr style "fantasy" coin to skirt the law, and that even the Chinese frown on counterfeiting their own coins. It's probably silver plated if anything. The style of the 5 is also way off.

 

I don't know, but...https://www.ebay.com/itm/365365269381?_skw=1994+china+5+oz+dog&itmmeta=01JJMHEYKDH6C0E975QPN6AE2R&hash=item5511779385:g:qkIAAOSwl3hnlpFn&itmprp=enc:AQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx+KZ9MfhVJKlz4iKJ3cI8rRmjHGnkf7qAqtQAX3iGko/SqjOdtFpmauNuHaT0bOkDAVIR94mZx0nDmcjxynIhkgenuibya65jPzEftEfglHU5b8gGdLwceJIhHDs93RKvhj5EtYVmzZnxvVpMi4Qd7E6KJc2WmfbpdWli5aJPX9s+7OQ+zjLEd8GYc83KzH2WP9yTXNiib88jyCvCIPJDvqxE0r1Ep6kk/dORfipvQFvSAetWBLz0ak3pxrJ5NrhOhF08aUt0IY4=|tkp:Bk9SR-7pu5GVZQ
