    I can only see the reverse slab photo... Still I believe this is a novelty fractional which might be struck out of 10K gold.

    Looks like a modern imitation souvenir token that someone dressed up in a "NPG" basement slab. image

    That's a Coin World slab that anyone can buy.

    The generic PCGS style capsules are made by Guardhouse. The globe icon was left on these, without the Coin World lettering for general retail sales under the Brand name Premier.

    no denomination = token

    denomination = possibly authentic
