Why did you buy it from? If it's from a trusted source and the same source as your iPhone 13 Mini then high chances, it is original as well.


Do note that having an authentic serial number does not fully guarantee that the adapter is original as counterfeit products may also have one.


One particular sign that you could look for is that whenever you use the adapter, there's an ‘Accessory may not be supported’ alert on your iPhone which would indicate the possibility of not original accessories being used.
