Rare Coin Found Inside Kinder Egg

An Italian States 5 lire coin from 1848 should be a large silver coin, 25 grams - the same size as a North American silver dollar - and way too big to fit into a Kinder egg (here in Australia, they're marketed as "Kinder Surprise"). I've seen several replicas of the Lombardy-Venetia 5 lire coin on the forum before; the genuine ones look like this. The replicas often have garbled legends with nonsense jumbled-up letters. I now suspect that the "coin" posted in this old thread from someone else in Canada is also a Kinder Surprise / magic kit replica.

So I'm afraid that whoever paid $200 for the OP's "coin" paid about $198 too much.

Kinder eggs are made in Italy so I would suspect there is a small chance the coin was real and used to test the toy, then maybe mistakenly left in the toy...? Would have been a dumb employee playing with it or maybe leaving it in their on purpose. They wouldn't put dirty coins into a kinder toy, so if the coin was real it was just a huge fluke
