I hope someone can please help.
I have been going through a collection that we have been left and I came across the following coin.
.

It weighs 5g and looks like it could be a China 1930 Kwangtung 20 Cents, but I am unable to find much about this coin, its value, or examples to see if it looks genuine.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
It's this coin:

There are several being sold on ebay for $30 OBO (although one looks fake) and one sold recently for $140 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/352514472453)
Thank you but I am unable to see any on eBay with the same date as my example - Year 19 (1930), and the page you point at shows no details of mintage or valuation details for this particular year.
Ah, yes. I see that now. Only listings for year 18(1929). According to NGC, only one year 19 (1930) is known to exist. https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/china-provincial-kwangtung-province-20-cents-y-426-171928-191930-cuid-1068407-duid-1288468. If true, there's a good chance yours is not genuine.
While searching I came up with the same conclusion. No photos anywhere of that year.
year 19 (1930) were stuck in proof only very rare

​wouldn't that mean it fake, unless he stole it hahahaha
So I either have only the second type of this coin to have been known to exist, or I have a good replica.
After asking PCGS how much it is to check and grade a coin, I think I'll leave it for now....

Thanks for your help everyone. Really appreciate it.

according to the photographs, this is a very bad parody of a coin made by casting, in which there is no silver at all. What can we talk about here? Check the composition of the coin in any jewelry store.
