<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 572642, member: 4703&quot;]I can&#039;t make out the date of the counterfeit first one, which has the typical weight of a Chinese counterfeit.&nbsp; It is, or course, supposed to be a Chinese Republic 1 Yuan (Dollar) of Yuan Shi Kai, which would be from the 19-teens.</p><p><br /></p><p>The possibly genuine, but suspect, second one is dated Republic Year 3 (1915) and has an OK weight, but I&#039;m away from my references and can&#039;t check carefully.&nbsp; Things to look for, in addition to the calligraphy, include the markings on his epaulets, the visibility of any medalls on his chest and the clarity of the denticles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
