I have this Belgian States (Austrian Netherlands) coin from 1771. It appears to be a 1/2 Kronenthaler based on the inscriptions. However, the size and weight do not match the KM #19.
The diameter should be 35 mm with a weight of 14.72 g.

Mine has a diameter of 33 mm and a weight of 13.6 g. The damage on the front also looks strange since it almost appears as if it is a plated coin and the silver has peeled off in various places.

Is this an old well worn forgery or something else?

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck ...
(or if it weighs like a fake, and peels like a fake ...)

That said, many of the details that are still visible look pretty good (like the mis-aligned C in COM). Well worn samples I can find at auction are not less than 14.3 gr., but if there is a achunk of metal missing as on yours ...
Is the edge inscribed?

Yes the edge is inscribed. Well worn on one side edge, but still inscribed.
