I tried google translate, but it wasn't very accurate. So you're saying you're not sure?

Understandable. I've been looking at the Krause pictures, and it says that many varieties exist. Thus, I'm really not sure.

The weight varies but I believe it should weigh around 6.75g and see if a magnet sticks to it or not, I don't know of it's composition in silver, so I also don't know if it could be slightly magnetic.

How did you happen to have this coin? Do you own it? Thinking about getting it? Just trying to understand why you are asking if it is real.

I've had it for years, but I've been updating my collection and this one caught my eye.
I'll check its weight and magnetic properties shortly.

The coin weighs 5g and is not magnetic.

Thoughts?
