You can.
In my opinion there are two easy ones left, and one hard one.

e) The letters in Krugerrand are too close together
This is true, but not one of the differences I identified for this challenge.

The face detail is lacking in the snout and the left eye is a bit "buggy" on the fake.

Differences identified so far that I was thinking about:
1) The date #'s are different 1978 (mcshilling)
Yes, every digit in the date is a different shape than those used on the genuine Krugerrand.
2) The denticles on the fake are way to long (loonielewy)
Yes, not only are they too long, they are too separated.
3) Counterfeit lacks details under the Sprinkbok's feet (nfine)
4) Bottom legend font size is way too big on the fake (llewellin)
5) Krugerrand is too close to the rim (keith12)
6)
7)
Differences identified that I did not include in the 7 differences I was thinking of are listed below.
a) Color is different.
When reviewing photographs, color is not a reliable indicator a coin is genuine or counterfeit.
b) No fur on the fake.
c) KRUGERRAND uses a different font.
d) There are more denticles on the genuine coin than on the counterfeit.
e) The letters in Krugerrand are too close together
f) The over all size ( diameter ) of the fake is larger
It is not possible to determine if this true from digital images.

The Sprinkbok's legs are thicker on the counterfeit, including the knee on the leg pointing straight down.

OK, two differences I want you to find still remain.
I think one is easy, and I think one is not so easy.
All remaining differences can be seen on the original image (not the other side of the coin).
