Bought this coin at an auction about 3 hours ago.
Any ideas on it?
Is it real gold?
Thanks

I've owned several like this. The gilt looks like it is starting to wear through - I can see grey/silver on the rims. The strike details are all very rounded and not sharp. The wear marks are not sharp, but rounded. All the details have the look of a cast copy rather than something die struck. The plain fields are not smooth but stippled in appearance. The genuine coin is highly detailed and has a 5 in the shield on the eagle's breast. I could go on, these two are definitely NOT identical at all.
