1919 1 Yuan Republic of China

Hi all,
I purchased recently 1 Chinese yuan from 1919.
For sure it is silver coin because i checked it by friend in laboratory but I am not sue if it is aunthentic.
If it is authentic what is it worth?
Diammeter of the coin is 39 mm.
Thank you

Looks like it's been casted looking at its surface.

 

The weight of the coin worries me a bit but do you think Chinesse would fake coin using silver?I am new to coins so I am not sure.

 

Absolutely. There are many silver fakes on alibaba. Your coin also happens to one that is commonly counterfeited

I don't like the weakness in the denticles in some areas along the rims.

 

Some fakes are done with melted UK 50% silver. Makes them a little under weight. Don’t know about yours

 

Chinese fake alright

 

How can you say? I would like to know for future.

 

See if it sticks to a magnet.

 

Its silver.I checked it-i am a cop and i asked my forensic friend to put it in some kind of machine.
