Hey! I recently found this seemingly chinese coin and would like to know if it's real or a replica. I can't really find any coin with matching symbols in the catalouges, the symbols are also a bit hard to read. The coin weighs ca. 7g and is ø25mm

Ahh thank you, didn’t spot it. what’s your opinion on authenticity? If it’s real someone must have polished it at some point.

I think it could be a replica. The edge of the square hole looks weird, the calligraphy is a slightly off and it's a bit crude for a Revenue mint.

For me it's more that the rim faces look “puffy” with raised parts, these kind of coins usually get filled down and are quite even on the rim areas.

some of the “puf” could also come from the coin being warped. Which it is slightly
