    Can you divulge the specs which makes you certain that this is a counterfeit?

    In my honest opinion this coin looks very genuine.
    My only concern are the stars around 12 o'clock, but this looks like it also could just be damage.

    The coin weighs slightly more than it should, and produces a dull thud when dropped. I'm fairly certain it is composed of lead.

    See if you can write with it.

    contemporary counterfeit, I guess, though the detail (workmanship) looks better and it doesn't have the pewter-color that I've seen on other early cont counterfeits (which isn't very many!).
