For those who are keeping track of these pieces, here is another one for your file. It weighs 25.8 grams. The core appears to be more brassy than copper with barely a trace of silvering. It must have worn off rapidly because there is a lot of detail left.

Very Nice worldnumis

What kind of edge does it have?
Weight is pretty close, maybe had bad plating, that kinda fell off?
I get what you're saying once it looked like brass, couldn't circulate as silver

Using the KM Chart, the size is 39 m.m. The edge is a crude attempt to copy the authentic design, but not very well done. Sorry, but a scanner doesn't copy the edge design.
