It is a very expensive coin, the chances are little to be original.
The 5 between L and R is a bit changed, i'd say 99% fake.

Chinese counterfeiters are getting better and better. Maybe you can check in the damages on the edge if it's silverplated brass : just use a nail file to scrape of a little bit. If the inside is yellow, it's definitely fake.

The first thing to check is the edge on the side of the king's head, is not centered and in some place disappear.
