I've got a 1 Yuan junk dollar which is perplexing me. It's year 21, ie 1932 so the reverse should show a junk with sun and birds. As far as I know the following years' coins were minted without sun and birds (the Chinese thought they looked too much like Japanese emblems). Essentially what I've got is a 1932 coin with a 1933 or 1934 reverse. Can anyone enlighten me? It certainly has rarity value in the sense that I can't find another like it online, but I suppose it could just be a forgery or reproduction.

Fake.
You forgot to include the weight, diameter and magnet test but still a fake.
Agreed. This is what a 1932 obverse should look like. No need to go any further.
