I would certainly have concerns. Chinese coins are not my thing but it has the looks of a cast coin.

Yeah same concern I had! The good news however is that it IS silver...so it does have some value to it in melt!
 

Yep, I've seen more fakes of those "dragon" coins than authentic ones.

It has all the hallmarks of a cast coin.

Did you weigh it, or are you going on assumption. Weigh it and magnet test it, and then it can be identified as silver potentially. Not real though, I am almost positive.

It has been weighed and tested for silver...24.6 grams total.
 

I am certain it's fake...doesn't weigh enough! Still looks cool though:-)

If it doesn't weigh enough, I am doubtful about silver, unless they used like 50% silver for it instead of the percentage it is normally.
