The Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
Counterfeit coin makers have become more advanced and more informed in printing COAs. Not only they align the correct name of the Governor of The People's Bank of China but also included the water mark on the paper, which shows a sitting Panda. However, the genuine water mark has slight imprint on the paper and that is probably the only difference.
