I doubt the second one is real, but if it's fake, the person who made it did a really good job cause it looks more real than most counterfeits (if it is fake).

Is it magnetic?

Check the weight. Check the reeding.

Thankyou SmartOneKg for the information, I have checked the weight which is correct, also checked the diameter also as it should be and the edge is reeded. With you doubting being real are they valuable.
p.s also non magnetic.
thanks again tony

Aha magnetic "silver" coins are usually obvious fakes by appearance.

You got a really nice coin! It's worth around $75 but I dunno the variety cause there's no image of the reverse.

IMHO the strokes of the characters on the second coin are just too perfect.
Maybe try the density test? https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/measure-a-coin-s-density-27.html

It's real.

The reeding even looks good.

It has the silver patina too.

Damn I still don't have a big Chinese silver.

And at that condition a dealer would probably sell for near 120USD.

Thank you for all your feedback; I have since sold this coin on eBay for £288 minus 10% for charity. Much to my delight (and the missus) and of course the charity. Anyway my point is it makes you feel better.
Cheers everyone and have a Merry Xmas and defo the best New Year as it's a new beginning for all - instead of the END.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL
