I am guessing this is a fantasy piece, but I could use an opinion on this one. Weight is 15.7 grams and diameter is 40.57mm at the widest point (not including the bail).
Thank you very much for your thoughts.

Check with a local coin dealer, but do not sell if the coin is real. Or, check with a third party grading services.
 

I learned from this website that the fake cobs have that rough material inside. Don's an expert on these things. Trust him...

Did it say "Chinese" in the sellers description? lol
I'm sure it never did, just thought I would post that since I ate Chinese last night.
Like Don and the crew says, repo, but makes a nice keychain.

FYI, this replica was cast from an actual 1715 Fleet find (sold in one the major Fleet auctions of the late 60s-70s). The original also had that same perimeter shape - sort of an out-of-round royal.
