<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1666183, member: 40017&quot;]As you say, so many fakes of these around that the usual starting point is to assume it is one. To my eye, yours does not look obviously wrong, and you have done some of the obvious test. Weight is the next one - it should be 26.4 gms - anything appreciably lower than that would be a definite fake. (I have seen them as low as 19.6 gms!) If it passes this test, you can say &quot;probably&quot; genuine, but if you want to go further you would need to test the silver content, which will mark the coin. It should be 0.89 Silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is KM (or Y) # 329 - 6 character Dollar or Yuan coin with reeded edge from year 3, which corresponds to 1914.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - I had a longer look at the pictures - I would be a little unhappy with the faults at the edges on the reverse, and the weakness of strike on parts of the obverse. I am now more of the opinion that it is not right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
