121,39 g - circa 37 x 29 mm
Fake sold ebay by a reputable german dealer on 15 Dec 2010, sold for 263 eur.
The seller described this as:
"Fragment of an ingot, decorated with birds, light-green patina; Thurlow-Vecchi 23"
The type is clearly not cast, but tooled.
Moreover the type is a fantasy, the birds on Thurlow-Vecchi 23 are totally different.
