china dollar

Can someone please help me identify this China dollar? I'd love a link to the correct entry in the Numista catalog.
Thanks.
Bob


I'm not an expert, but it looks like it's this one:

Authenticity seems a bit off to me, though. Someone with a bit more experience might be able to judge it better.
To me anyway looks like a modern fake, but that is my opinion

check weigh with some accurate scales
Well, I actually disagree with the two opinions stated above!

Of course I could be wrong, but from those photos there's a decent amount of good honest wear- so I think it could be genuine!
Hello,
I agree with Cass. It looks "ok" to me but it seems to have been cleaned.

Could we have its weight and dimension ?
On my postal scale, the coin weighs 26 grams. It has a diameter of about 38-39mm.
It may be a fake, but it is not a modern fake. My father was stationed in China during World War II and he brought back this coin.

Yes, it's Y31, and well worn with a couple of natural-looking chopmarks, so almost certainly genuine.
