Hey all just want to confirm this is indeed fake, way too weak of a strike on the reverse imo

    Yes that is counterfeit. Date style is incorrect

    The lettering is also a bit "soft" and doesn't have the sharp edges like the authentic coins do. Particularly noticeable on the reverse with the larger lettering.

    just to be on the safe side and to complete your investigation- weigh the coin if it is in your possession and if you have access to a scale. I am not optimistic based on what I see.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Counterfeit, the date is wrong.
