Its a pretty poor counterfeit. I would guess its been casted out of some base metal. Weight it 13.58 grams. There are some Aussie collectors who do counterfeits is there much interest in the US? Does this have any value or just an oddity to throw in a jar?

I was going to list it in my ebay store, went through most of the listing process then saw a warning pop up at the last minute saying that counterfeits arent permitted. I got it out of a 6kg bag of world coins I purchased for $60 from someone which turned out to be complete rubbish. I got excited when I saw this one, well excited for about 2 seconds anyway lol.

My guess was that is the point from which the metal was poured into the cast.

Looks like VAM9C - VAM9 for slanted date and C for counterfeit.
