34th Year of Kuang HSU Coin

1st timer on this board. Always hangout at sports cards forums. Was going thru several coins my grandfather collected travelling the world in the US Navy during the 1930s. I've tried to find specifics on this coin & per Dragon Dollar's website, there are several versions of it. However, I can't determine which one I have. Also, is there any version deemed to be rarer than others? I plan on having it slabbed & it would help if I can be more specific in identifying the coin. Took pictures with an iPhone 8. Any idea what grade it might receive? Thanx

definitely get it slabbed, chinese coins are highly counterfeited.

Do you have a picture of the other side?

These coins are quite common, in fact I have one of my own:

China Chihli Dollar Year 34 (Peiyang Arsenal 1908)
Silver, 38 mm, 26.57 gm

They were issued by the Chinese province of Chihli for several years.

I do not believe it is worth the money to send it to a grading company.
