Hi. Can anyone help identify this? 5.5g. 18mm, and it came from a good source. Thanks.

Does the coin not have a reverse?

Fantastic thanks. It clearly has age but wasn't good enough to be the real thing.

Hi folks,

I suspect that it may be a cast copy of the type in Pekka's link. As soon as I looked at the photos, I was aware of the soft details and "soapy" look to it.

I am pretty sure it is a modern cast--typical soft, soapy surfaces and the surface condition itself.
