    Looks like a contemporary circulating counterfeit to me, at first glance.

    Looks bad to me as well. I'll try to find an image of a real one for you. And even though I collect contemporary counterfeits, this one does not appeal to me.

    BTW, the 1828 1 Real offered by the same seller is ex: Dana Roberts, and also looks very suspicious to me.

    There are a lot I don't like, one is those high ridges on the edges of the mountains. All I've seen have those little dots from side to side. Many more issues IMO.

    The sun rays from 2 to 3 o'clock are crude and uneven.

    Look at the style of the letters and numerals. Also, the tree style.

    I'm afraid some poor sap will think he is getting a bargain on this one. It's interesting the seller has this priced low but the NGC 1 escudo is priced too high.
