Just wondering how I should write this COA? I have ideas, but thought I would hear some of the creative answers from the diverse audience of members here first.

Macro-details on the piece and the transaction and possibly something about the buyer's level of knowledge might help..

Contemporary counterfeit obsolete currency is cataloged and certified by PCGS and PMG along with genuine notes. Both genuine and counterfeit notes are collectible and exist in limited quantities. The Haxby and Bowers catalogs both use a "C" instaed of "G" prefix for the catalog numbers of the counterfeits.
Agree.
Or you could describe it as a "Genuine Counterfeit".

@CaptHenway ...CONA is not a good word in Portuguese...

Issue a "Certificate of Appraisal". That way you are attesting to what it is. Using one everyone knows, you can say that the item is an Omega Man counterfeit, or a Beirut Counterfeit with a value of XYZ. For certain purposes this will probably work for the person.
"Contemporary Counterfeit" is the most accurate term to use.
