Authentication DimensionGenuine Features (Original Minting)Common Flaws in Counterfeits (Modern Fakes)
Edge Reeding CraftsmanshipTypical French minting characteristics, deep and uniform edge reeding, often with specific olive-shaped or straight reeding transitions, with reasonable natural wear and tear.Hard, sharp, and hand-cutting edge reeding, or overly blurry and smooth, often with artificial file marks.
Character SpiritThe strokes of"Fu"and"Yi Liang Zheng Yin"(One Tael Pure Silver) have strong starting and stopping points, and the edges of the characters have a natural draft angle where they meet the background.Characters are bloated and lifeless, with small sand holes or metal overflow (flow marks) often present at the edges of the strokes.
Historical PatinaAfter nearly a hundred years, an oxidation layer forms on the surface (e.g., black lacquer, iridescent patina), deeply ingrained and naturally transitioned."Fake patina"rapidly created with chemical solutions, colors float on the surface, has a pungent odor, and lacks layers.
Sound QualityTapping produces a clear and melodious sound with a long resonance, consistent with the acoustic characteristics of high-purity old silver coins.Tapping produces a dull sound (often due to lead filler or incorrect alloy composition) or an overly sharp sound (excessive copper content).
