What kind of special thing do you see on this coin? I do not see anything special here, it is just a common coin,
with an age of 230 years. And a lion on it...

​I have never seen a red VOC coin
​Its red tone is because of chemical reactions to the copper material of the coin.

Nothing special or fake about your coin.

Definitely surface damage.

The cent on the right was heated up until glowing red then cooled off slowly. Maybe this coin was treated the same to clean it improperly, or reactions in the ground made the surface porous.

the color of this coin is different at first? ... this is because of a chemical reaction or something else? (I got a photo from the auction site)

The coins look good relying on the photos you have posted. If you are posting photos from an auction site, it may or may not look the same in hand. I have many of these coins ranging from black to red-brown in appearance. Where they were minted seems to matter as well. My opinion is the best looking were from Ultrecht, but that is only an opinion.
Depending on what kind of camera, lighting and background I use in photography, I can change the color of the coin.

Beware of forgeries. But....sometimes they can be valuable, too.

Welcome to Numista!
Please start a new thread for your coin next time. :)

The markings on your token (not a coin) are Chinese for "Hong Kong" (香港), so it's probably some sort of token originating from there.

​Hi and welcome.
You should make a new post for this item so that more people will see it. As it is now, you are at the bottom of someone else's post.
Good luck.
