Here is a side by side view with a little color enhancing to show the details. You can see one has some patina in the groves and the other looks to be polished, but all in all, the details are the same.

THESE COINS ARE EXACT!

I don't think there is any question this coin is a fake. As for the gold content, that may need to be tested. Who knows, they could have tried to produce a "real gold" fake.

something to remember it is............HAMMERED, those two are to close to be real........a real hammered coin is not ever going to have a clone......it just can't happen.....so they are fake......and my son has one just like it...he found it yesterday!!!! ZOOTMAN if you question this.......your avatar is proof!
