Alignment

Hi there,

I believe I have an original of this coin but the alignment is off. When I look at the obverse and turn the coin, the reverse is showing with the top pointing to 7 o'clock. Is this a common issue or could the coin be fake?

Hard to say without pictures.

I would say it's a common occurence, not only on Chinese but on all coins not struck in modern mints. If you believe it's an original then it's likely good, but as Prof. said…

Hi both, thank you for replies. Please see attached and let me know your thoughts. I’d be most grateful 

I'd say it's a genuine example
