I am new in this forum. A coin was found in an ancient collection from my grandfather. He inherited it from his brother in law who was a captain on a merchant ship. The coin weigts 17 g, diam. 22mm, thickness 4mm.

There are a lot of fakes of this type, some very good. You should check the fake reports later, currently I get the massage "Service Unavailable". It`s at least not an obvious fake.
