Take a magnet to it - most of the fakes are magnetic even though there are still higher class fakes made of silver that are worth their weight in bullion.
Thank you SmartOneKg! I know you are an expert in Chinese coins. I trust you with this one! One more question: Do you think I can get any money by selling it?
You can make a quick buck by selling it as an "antique novelty / token" even though it might be modern.
Or you could be a morally wrong person and sell it on eBay. Honestly coins like this should be collected door to door and be melted in a giant room cause they are fake and I'm always asked if they're real or not (no offense).

It should weigh around the 26g mark not magnetic. I had one that weighed 24g and wasn't magnetic, still got 25.00 quid for it on eBay but stated it didn't match up to real one's weight, so still worth a little bit. I currently have a two-headed one at moment that only weighs 21g - not magnetic either.
