Info/authenticity

I don’t understand how to tell if this coin is real, and I can’t find info about it online, does anyone have information on it?

Welcome to numista.

Do you have a similar coin? I suppose, that you have, because of your question.

All you need to do is to check the physical dimensions against the coin in the catalog, the patterns on the coin and estimate if the alloy might be correct, check with the attraction to a magnet. If everything checks up, you might have a genuine coin, at least the chance is quite high.

Thank you for your response.  I bought it from a guy that sent me a picture from the Chinese catalog of what looked like a struck coin, so I’d ask if it is suposed to be a cast coin, or a struck coin?

When I look at the uniform round form, I would say struck.

When I see the years, when it was made, I come to the same conclusion, struck.
