There is a weird shape in the letter "G". Should weight 2,6 g/28,3mm diam./1,6-1,7mm thick or 3,4g/28,3mm diam./2.1-2.2mm thick these are aluminium ones, also was a aluminium-magnesium version should be 1,75g/28.4mm diam and gets dark because of oxidation. I am no expert, but looks like a fake to me, it just doesn't add up.

There are also a lot of fakes in circulation (though they look a lot better) even to the point that collectors are afraid to buy them from individual sellers.

The correct answer is:.... it is genuine coin

I asked an expert Mr Jacek Sarosiek, and I was really

surprised that this is one is genuine KM Tn3a

If this coin is genuine, congratulations. Like @inconsistentblend said, I'd never buy this coin from anyone but a professional coin dealer. The German market for instance is full of counterfeits...

I wrote to 2 experts and both said "genuine", now I'm waiting for opinion from WCN (polish auction house) and I hope they also confirm good news for me :)
