This coin was bought on the Internet at auction by my friend. He did not suspect anything and was completely sure that the coin was real. In this form, she lay with him for a year, until he showed it to one numismatist, who immediately said that this is not a real coin, but a copy from China. Such copies are brought in large numbers from China by unscrupulous sellers and are given out for real. Such deception is designed for beginning collectors, they can not distinguish a copy from the original coin. Over time, the upper layer of silver on such copies is erased and it becomes evident that the coin is made of brass and covered with a thick layer of silver. Have you met such fakes?
