Is It Modern Fake or Original? 1 Cash - Shunzhi

3 posts • viewed 104 times
Hello everyone!

Could someone tell me this coin original or fake?

Weight - 3.48 g
Diameter - 25.3 mm



Probably this one - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7319.html

On one hand, it looks suspiciously in a good shape and the diameter is a bit smaller. On the other hand, it should be a relatively frequent cash coin, so there is not much profit to fake them.

If someone could share their opinion.

Thank you!
Definitely a fake. Fake cash coins like that one are manufactured not for the purpose of profiting from collectors but usually for Chinese lucky charms like these ones being sold along streets.
