I did see that other post however these ones look different especially back of coin as you cannot see a pressed impression of front? Why else do you say probably a fake?

My main reason is there were probably hundreds produced for earrings.
And I doubt they were made from real coins.
The reverse also looks suspect.

Just a personal hunch.

No Expert opinion by any means

Hopefully I'm Wrong

Not real coins. They are replicas, I don't know if they are gold or not.
