China

I've found this strange Chinese coin:



It should be this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces9381.html
but it has a strange mark, maybe a Chinese character.


Anyone knows what it may be?
Thanks

Strange.  It looks like the first half of a Japanese Heisei mark.

looks like fake for me, very bad quality..

I had also thought it was a fake... too poor details.
Thanks for your quick anwers

This is a 10 Fen from the Republic of China, year 29. But there's something unique about this one.

The mark under the knife coin on the reverse is an indicator of "pattern", or "trial strike". Based on the weak strike on the obverse, I'm leaning towards fake for this coin.

Maybe it was a not such a good TRIAL.

It would be great if it was a real Trial strike.
Thanks SmartOneKg!

Why would someone fake a Nickel coin, Not rare either?  

Because pattern coins are very valuable.
