Thank you for the link.
The site navigation is annoying. One page with frames so there isn't an obvious way to bookmark a type. Many types in a page, and the links end up jumping to annoying places (I clicked on a half rupee link and was confused until I realized the one rupee table was being displayed -- I scrolled down and found what I wanted).
On the other hand, it does have lots of pictures. And I checked out images for a type difference I was recently investigating and found some excellent images to compare. |

There are a couple things going on here.
First, the picture from KM you posted appears to show a vertical date on the right side of the portrait. My KM (1601-1700, 6th edition) shows the date split by the portrait (as the text says). What KM edition are you using?
Numismaster also shows a vertical date.
https://numismaster.com/MC_60511
I would call that a different type as the date isn't divided.
Second, there are often differences in portraits and lettering of coins from that era. (Final letters being optional is common.) Whether they are a different type or not isn't usually consistent.
To choose a coin at random from KM, look at the legend details for Stade KM# 7.
https://numismaster.com/MC_186064
Obv legend: MO(N). NO(V). CIV(I). STADEN(S)(I)(S).
Rev. legend: MATT(HIAS). D.G. R(O). I(M). S. A(V).
The parenthesis indicate letters that might or might not be present.
(There are many variations on coins where KM doesn't mention variations.) |

You can't directly compare your image with the Numista image as Numista shows a variation with TM and you have one of the non-TM versions. But your coin does seem in the realm of a reasonable official coin. If I was purchasing a coin with your pictures I wouldn't worry about it being a counterfeit.
It best fits the last entry on the Numista page, but so does the coin listed on numismaster.com and that is a different variation.

I'm not sure what you want for an answer -- the coin is what it is. The value is arbitrary as there are only two or three types in the currency and they have the same value. They are lighter than some "1 cash" coins from similar eras (looking at Numista weights). Hartill says: They weighed 1 quan 6 fen each.
(Schjöth and Fischer's Ding both say "value 2".) |

It's a little more complicated. Yes, Y stands for Yeoman.
The Yeoman books are: Modern World Coins (covering 1850 to 1964, most recently published in 2023, the previous version was 2008) and Current Coins of the World (covering 1964 and later, last published 1988).
But Krause adopted Y numbers for many countries. Some have been replaced with KM numbers, but for China only some of the numbers have been replaced.
And for the complication: In many places Krause has added sub-types. For example splitting Y# 1 into Y# 1.1 and Y# 1.2. In those situations you will only see Y# 1 in a Yeoman book -- you need to read a Krause book to understand the difference.
(If you look at Numista you will see Y# connected with Yeoman books. The fact that the numbers actually come from Krause and not Yeoman isn't mentioned.) |

Those all seem easy to identify. Get a phone app (Coinoscope or Maktun) to identify them, or type some of the words from the coins into Numista.
Once identified Numista will tell you if they are silver and often has coin valuations.
If you have questions about the value of specific identified coins after that then ask in this forum. |
