    Without giving too much information away, thought it would be fun if you look up what's different about this coin:

    Sure it features General Yuan Shi Kai and struck in 1914 but there's something about this which makes it different.

    Also, this is overstruck over something... :)

    Seems pretty neat but the real irony is, if this turns out to be a counterfeit which is the unfortunate scene going on with Chinese coins, I spent a fortune on this coin. Weighs: 26.5g
