Hi all new member, long time reader :D

I am purchasing this coin and wondered if some of your beautiful minds could help with whether it is real or a fake?

Thank you in advance

Sorry to say but it is a fake. Here is an example of one from my collection albeit not in that great a condition but you can still tell the difference from yours.
