On the obverse of the coin, everything is correct. But on the reverse, the hieroglyphs do not coincide with those that should be on the 5 yang. Please, help.

It looks like a very badly made fake with the obverse of a 1 Hwan and reverse of 5 Yang

1 Whan: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21043.html
5 Yang: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15833.html

Mismatches between obverse and reverse are very common for cheap fakes.

Welcome to Numista.
It is indeed one of the thousands replica's/forgeries/fakes.
I started collecting these 'things' but I think I will not have enough space to store one of each....:°
