I am pretty sure I have 1 of these coins but I can not figure out the difference between them
Apparently there is a Y#124 and Y#124.1

Thanx in advance

Indeed one of the many fakes 'made in China'
Left picture says 'Hu-pei' right picture says different

Another one exists like this as well, but that one is "He-Peh", I have this one and only keep it because I like the design, I was born in 1976 which is the year of the Dragon, hence why I like the coin even though it is a fake.
excuse the shine in the images, It is in a lighthouse sealed plastic holder.





Chinese made many of these reproductions for tourists

Yes, tourist replica.
I have several different of these. They are not very difficult to find.
