    Other than it being a rare, frequently counterfeited coin that is not in a slab, the L Giorgi signature looks way off. It was likely minted in China during the Xi Dynasty.

    Google is your friend. This is one of many sites you'll find by searching:

    Also, this topic has been discussed on Coin Talk. Perhaps you can search for older threads right here.
    Edit. I don't know anything about these coins so I have no opinion on whether it's real or fake.

    I don't know anything about this particular coin, but try to weigh it and measure it (caliper) then compare it to specs.
