That's a counterfeit alright.
I see wrong obverse portrait for one thing.
The one pictured kinda looks like a slimmed down version of the portrait that appears on the obverse of the Australian $2 2018 Armistice coin.

Also it shows the date on both sides when it should only be on the reverse.

And I guess the reason for the edge shot is to show it's also missing the edge lettering.

To CCF! Wow! That would definitely fool most people, especially those who don't collect coins and look for those sorts of things. Errers and Varietys.
