Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 06/20/2020 2:45 pm @galath, first welcome to CCF. Second, it sure looks like there is a parting line along the edge of this piece which would indicate that it was cast (rather than struck as the authentic coins are). I agree with @finn's assessment.
