Hello all, wondering about recent coin. Is this a real or fake Spanish coin. Diameter is around the size of a US quarter and weight is 7.2gm. I'm on the fence on this one. Any help I would appreciate and thank you for your help.

Good question. The letters seem a bit soft, but overall the coin looks genuine. If I wanted this coin I would buy it from a knowledgeable, reputable dealer, not from an anonymous internet seller.

I was also wondering. Overall it looks OK, but the picture is not sharp.
There could be some bubbles from casting, or some soft details due again to casting.
It would be easier with a better picture :)
