That's a counterfeit alright.
I see wrong obverse portrait for one thing.
The one pictured kinda looks like a slimmed down version of the portrait that appears on the obverse of the Australian $2 2018 Armistice coin.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Also it shows the date on both sides when it should only be on the reverse.

And I guess the reason for the edge shot is to show it's also missing the edge lettering.

To CCF! Wow! That would definitely fool most people, especially those who don't collect coins and look for those sorts of things.
Errers and Varietys.

It should also have the 2 dollars on the obverse. I'm a newbee and I just recently noticed a different looking 2015 Macdonald toonie as I was organizing my collection. Also fake. I need to take a better look at all my toonies for others.

Edited to change to date 2015
