Lovely how they try to CYA with the quote "(I CANNOT AUTHENTICATE THE COIN AS REAL, PERHAPS YOU CAN)".

The rims give this away.. the gluely looking fake toning, the weight, the lack of real circulation marks, the lack of lustre or toning

Bought this on ebay, weighs 18g instead of 25g

I still don't understand how a coin like that which is not a scarce date could have had any interest to be faked ?

Perhaps it's a contemporary counterfeit made to pass off as real money. But more likely it's just a coin made for the tourist trade.

Isn't it a case of tracking down the die so they can restrike them? I see lots of common date fakes and just assumed it was based on the availability of dies.. i have seen many china coin dies available on ebay (presumably dies that had been used to strike many fakes:?)

Is it magnetic? many 18g fakes for some reason, like this one.

you have to also take into account that it is possible that this coin was made counterfeit 150 years ago and is not new.
Counterfeiting is not new, so you may have a very old counterfeit, which would have passed in the day for the real thing
