I'm well aware its counterfeit/Replica. My Question is why can't find another one like this? Its non magnetic also. Both sides have the Dragon/Creature on it.

    It looks like a Charles Barber Dragon; he made some dies to help sell coin presses in China back in the late 1800's or early 1900's. He was still a mint employee at the time.

    May the maker realized it was too easy to spot as counterfeit and moved on to a better option.
