Ah thank you never thought about a token!
Hi,

Petrus is right, this is a counterfeit, but of a genuine coin issued in Fookien province in the 1840s as an army payment, known as the old man dollar: https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/taiwan-old-man-dollar-nd-1838-50-xf-details-chopmarked-ngc-/a/3033-23155.s?ic3=ViewItem-Auction-Archive-ThisAuction-120115
perhaps you have some replicas among the crowns too
I collect these forgeries/relicas/fakes, so i think they easy to recognize
Nice replica!

Hi thank you for your help. The crowns are all genuine was use this oddity I was struggling with but no more!

When I saw the coin I was like wat? If it is real, it would have cost a fortune.

The beard on your coin is a give away.
Be kind to people. Sharing is Caring. Collect what you like and not by the Crowd.
To seek for perfection, it is too painful and there is a very high price to pay. To seek for something comfortable is more easy. To seek for nothing is even more easy.
Thanks guys!
