Look on eBay and you will found that there is a replica of this coin for sale. Though this seller does state it is a "Retro" "Souvenir" meaning a copy. Others sellers may not be so forth coming and try to pass it on as genuine.

But your coins seems genuine to me.

Yes, it is a cracking coin. But the premium is a bit high though, currently priced at £1729.

Incorrect. They are available (pre-sale) at LPM, a large Hong Kong bullion dealer.

I added it to the shopping cart, clicked Check Out and noticed there is a discount code box for further reduction.

Has anyone got the discount code ? 😁

On TSF where there are more members from the UK, I suspect the silver Britannia would be the most popular followed by the silver Maple Leaf.

The 1oz silver Maple Leaf was first introduced back in 1988 and has been mass produced and sold at a low premium. So any seasoned stackers will have a number of these in their collection.

By comparison, the silver Krugerrand is very much a new kid on the block, first introduced back in 2017 albeit a premium edition.  

So my vote is Britannia then Maple. Final answer !

I think you meant AU53. 

I agree with you, the coin looks nothing like AU53 grade. 

Below is the NGC description of grading scale.

To me, it's more like VF35 or XF40 at best. Maybe the grader was in a very good mood on the day ! 

The most common payment type in mainland China is WeChatPay, with AliPay probably being a distant second place. These form of payments are similar to PayPal but you pay via an App on your smartphone. Since March 2023, I have travelled into four provinces inside of China.  At supermarkets, I either pay with cash or via the AliPay app.  Where all this facial recognition and cbdc at supermarkets comes from I have no idea. 

It's one thing seeing a couple of videos on China versus actually being there yourself on the ground. There are too many armchair experts around for my liking.

Hello! Welcome to the forum.

For collectors in the UK, silver Britannias and gold sovereigns would be a good start.

If you have deep pockets, then go for 1oz gold Britannia.

Enjoy the ride into the world of precious metals.
