It appears to be a counterfeit to me. The bumpy gravelly surfaces have the look of a cast fake.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Nothing looks right about it.

 

LOL

Those leaves add some comical value, so $0.75.
Some fakes for $2 on Ali look much better.

 

Even in this worn example you can see a smooth background and the coin still has a lot of detail. Your coin lacks both. Sorry, but I believe it to be a fake.

 

Sum Ting Wong, it's too grainy looking

 

Reverse is what puts a red flag up for me....

 

Count the leaves only 5

 

A genuine example in that condition would be worth about $35,000, bit this one isn't even close. Some counterfeit trade dollars are extremely well made and could fool the experts, but this is one of the worst that I've seen. The artificial toning is really poorly done as well.
