It measures 42mm in diameter and weighs 24.32 grams, about 4 grams less than a real coin of this type. The font is more modern than that found on this era of coins. The edge is smooth and round with lines of machining or somesuch running parallel to the faces of the coin. It appears to be silver and has the ring of silver but someone filed the edge a bit and it looks like it has a copper core. Report this Post to the Staff
