Edward...You've gotta get lots better pics, if there's to be any accurate response to your query. Probably several members can recognize that coin as it's shown...but they shouldn't have to work at it. Try, try again. Good luck! wlw

 

I think Taiwanese however, better photos are required.

 

I thought Taiwanese at first, based on the obverse (2nd pic, I assume). But I'm not finding anything that matches.

 

Here's another set of pictures

 

Fake pattern Chinese dollar.

 

Are you saying they will even produce phoneys of their own coinage?

 

Sounds like it.

 

Oh yes, fake "Fat man" and Chinese Junk dollars are VERY common fakes coming out of China. They date before 1949 so they can be legally faked as well. Their law makes counterfeiting Chinese coins dated after the Communists took over in 1949 illegal. Anything before that is fair game. (Of course it hasn't stopped them from counterfeiting the bullion Panda cons.)
