Contemporary counterfeit $2.50 piece

Purchased this cool little piece from a member on another forum. Appears to be struck from a hand made die that is somewhat crude, but not too bad. Was originally gold gilded and has some remaining traces of the gild. I find these to be much more interesting than transfer die copies. There is a test punch to the right of the bust/date, so this one was caught and luckily not destroyed.

Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff <3
