I won't buy it, like to see it in hand, but definitely gives me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach

The style of the first coin isn`t totally off.
The coin seems to be imitating Price 3320 and the mint is Arados.
Here is a picture of an authentic example form acsearch.

With best regards

I'm no expert on these, but the fields look too flat.
