5 ducat?

Badge5

I have the coin in the attached photos and think it may be a 5 ducat piece. It unfortunately had a necklace loop removed as I think you can see if you magnify my photos. I have always been a collector of things and this is an item I bought when I was a teen but then never really got into coins and now 40 years later may wish to sell it. Is this anything of interest to anyone or can you advise of an outlet or procedure for selling it? I have only seen one in the very short time I have looked at this forum so I assume it is somewhat scarce or rare. Thanks!

It's at least attempting to be this coin - https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/german-states-saxony-albertine-5-ducat-km-422-1630-cuid-1137198-duid-1405176

The details of your coin don't match up with the details on the plate coin on the NGC page or the two examples below that have hit major auctions . For example, your photo is missing lettering to the left of the bust entirely and the "R" on GEOR on the obverse. That does make me question authenticity of the coin. I would assume it's counterfeit because I'm not seeing any known auction records that match your coin. There is enough variability between examples that it's still worth a closer look.
