That's my point, there most definitely are things that don't add up.

The value is immaterial. I think I know what has happened here, but at best it's an educated guess. I suspect the coin is a Chinese counterfeit. But I also suspect that it first started out as an entirely different coin - one with an 8 petaled floret on it.

Then either they realized that the 8 petals were wrong (should be 6) or that it was positioned incorrectly, and then over-struck 1 fake with a new fake. Then they added chop marks, and even some damage, to make it look authentic.

But like I said, just an educated guess. The weight, if incorrect would add "weight" to my guess. And yes, pun intended
