Is this a 1 Dollar - Xuantong coin?

Hello there,

does Somebody know if this coin is proper or a clone? 

Numista is The only site where I found this coin, but I didn’t find one on the market (like eBay) So I’m not sure if it is original.

So I think the coin that I have is shown here: 

N#22817

i measured the coin and the thickness of 2,5mm fits, but the Diameter is around 38,4mm and not 39mm like on the site.

It would be nice if somebody would answer me :) 

Have a great one! 

Hello, please look at the neck of the dragon… on this link it turns left, but on my coin it goes right. So it shouldn’t be the same one. 

Anyways thanks.

Hello,CoinToph!

Besides the diametre(a bit out of range),the original weight of 26.90g. and the magnet test are OK? Sorry but I don't like very much the appearence of your coin's surfaces(as much as photos show…)! Caution must be taken for all old chinese coins!

Hey Andi,

thanks for the tip with the magnet test!! I tested it and it sticks to the magnet… At this moment I can’t measure the weight so I don’t really know.

You don’t have to be sorry, nobody took care of it. 

So it has to be a clone right?

Because as I know silver shouldn’t stick to a magnet  😂

Clone is not the right expression, but a fake, counterfeit etc are the proper words to use. A clone is hybrid between two different dies, not foreseen to come together!

Hi,all of you! That's correct,Sjoelund! For one time,thanks! If I wasn't sleeping at the time of your reply,I should have written the same thing: ''clone'' is not the right term for a fake/counterfeit! Clones are identical specimens,by all their data!

And yes,you are also right CoinToph,silver never sticks to a magnet! So,no need to know further the coin's weight,the magnet test is the first check to do when we deal with (chinese but not only!) coins (supposed genuine!). Your ''coin'' is,for sure,a recent FAKE!😭

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!
