This post brings some food for thought about a handful of these fakes coming from China. Apparently some were made with some serious spoofs to include this one. Another one is to look at Spanish American Real coins to include 8 Reales and ensure that they have the right King for the right era. Some fakes were made with a date that had another king that ruled at another time frame. Obviously the bozo that made these is oblivious to or flunked European history making their business of making fakes blatantly obvious.
