Half Won... Real or Fake?

Doesn't look like any ½ won coin I have ever seen.  Does it have two sides?

I have a few coins that were left to me from my father, who was given these coins by his father (who visited China Korea and Japan, off and on, from the late 1940's until the 1970's). 

The obverse resembles this coin: N#15826 The reverse should look like this:

Yours obviously isn't a real coin.

Reverse is like

N#162349

So a mix between Korea and China

The Wuhan flag

Interesting that Image search doesn't find that one.

Not even with the picture from the page:

Then, if the picture is not cropped, it's better :)

Doesn't work for me, cropped or not.

I know that up to (at least) april there were problems to find similar coins : 

The answer from Xavier was:

Thank you for reporting this case. The fact that the medal represents other coins disrupts the algorithm.

 We will study if a solution is possible.

And when the robot look for similar tokens, results gather these types of tokens:

Then, that doesn't explain why it works for me and not for you 🤔

Tried PC Edge, Firefox, Chrome with no results and Mobile Firefox and Safari with no results.

It works on my PC win11 Google or μsoft-edge and on my phone android both with searches on coins and Exonumia.

Try with the obverse picture of  N#23835 

On april it failed and now the search engine doesn't fail but gives non significants results

No results with Firefox and Edge on Win 11.

Why would the Wuhan flag be on a korean coin, that's nearly 1276 miles apart🤣

Quite an obvious fake to me though

My guess that it might be some token that someone had asked to be specially made or some kind of exonumia

Can't be a fake if there's nothing real it's trying to represent. Just a token like the one Frenchlover posted.

In any case, its a really bad fake 🤣🤣

Yes, I did mention that it might be a token

Here is the kicker… The coin goes off on the metal detector like it is silver.

It appears to be pressed together. Like the backside that is the Half Won is a sleeve or a cover to hide the backside of the Chinese coin. It reminds me of how the foil is on those chocolate coins. The Half Won is a newer looking metal. I will include some close ups of the Half Won side.

Also, the inner edge on the Chinese side is sharp feeling. Like the edge of foil on say a cup of yogurt.

its fake, just accept it

oh and also, i dont think metal detectors can detect silver, silver is non-magnetic
