The details on this fake coin are sharp, including the RIG for REG in the legend. I have seen others like it that have a much mushier appearance. Those were cast, as this one was (I think) per the seam. The diameter is just under 23 mm and the mass is 2.39 g.

As usual, any and all thoughts are appreciated.

Interesting piece! The portrait is quite grotesque!

23mm is halfway between a sixpence (21mm) and a shilling (26mm).

I'm wondering if this was actually made as a costume jewellery piece in Victorian times and was originally gilded.
