    Surfaces are raising some red flags for me. What's the weight? Can you post the edge in 4 segment photos that show it all around?

  • @TwoKopeiki and @Namvet69 thank you for the help! I have attached pictures of the edge and the coin weighs 26.5 grams.

    I think its a counterfeit. But likely silver, as this type was made for China trade.

    @InGodWeTrustCoins it would be helpful for you to read about Class 2 counterfeit reales, also the edge design seam joint overlap marker. Peace Roy
