While it looks like a 2 Chiao of the Chinese Soviet Republic the lettering/characters are not quite the same. The design on the globe also seems different. Weight and diameter seem correct. 

I know there are contemporary counterfeits of these but they are silver washed copper coins, and from what I can tell the characters on those are the same as the original.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

I’m calling fake here, weight is 0,7 grams light, star above globe is too big and other tiny issues that make me suspicious.

Of course, I’m not an expert on soviet chinese coins, this is just my opinion.

You’ll have to do some silver tests and possibly send it in for grading to be completely sure.

:)

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

Hi,

Yes, I agree it's not exactly this coin but I wondered if anyone has any thoughts about whether or not it is a slightly different/other coin. As it also doesn't seem to exactly match the known contemporary counterfeits.

 

Would this coin have been counterfeited more recently?

Seems a very obscure choice. And why not make it accurately?

Bizarre.

There were apparently some restrikes made around 1960 but I can't find images to see if they are more like this or the same as the original coins.

Anybody have any?
