Evaluation needed - real or fake

Hello,

I would need opinions on the following coin, is it real or fake? What I have are just those images, I am considering to buy it, if it fits in my small budget.



Thanks!

You should know what the country is before buying it, because I used tin eye and couldn't find any similar.

I know which "country" is It is an ex German territory in China, Kiau Chiau.

This is the coin in Numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17663.html

I'm sorry, I honestly didn't know which country it came from.

Hmm it looks real.

Really nice coin ! Looks real enough to me but I'm still new to this so don't take it as God's word !

This is a 10 pfennig coin from the German colony of Kiautschou, located in Qingdao, Shandong, China.

These coins are commonly faked and if real yours is worth appx 80-100$ USD in a market in China.

These coins are actually pretty hard to authenticate... I would take it to a dealer or appraiser.

There is a 5 cent counterpiece to this and is more expensive.

Can I ask... where did you find/buy that coin?

Hello 15turtles,

I was hoping to buy it, as it was on Ebay for many days without any biding on it, and I thought nobody noticed it so I bid for a while, when suddenly the price went the one it is now, I cannot afford it anymore....
