I recently picked up an interesting looking coin , and can't identify it, so I am appealing to Forum members for help!

All right, at first no luck but this seems to be the coin. #3, 1867 Shanghai Custom House-one tael pattern of Silver Coin In Year of Tong-chi Sixth, Chin Dynasty

If it is, the information found seems to indicate a real scarcity on what is being called a pattern coin.There are only ten of this sort of pattern coins existing

If this is the case, one wonders about the authenticity of your coin. I hope it's real and I've got my fingers crossed for you but what are the odds?
