As you can spot the difference between an owl and a rhino, I thought this would be a doddle for you :)

I have two of these in horrible condition. The looked like tiny rusted pieces of metal that very easily could be found in any unkempt city. Coins like this like all difficult material should be purchased from reputable sources. I cannot determine if some thing like this is real, from a picture. If it is real it is in a remarkable state of preservation. If the price is right and the source is good I'd go for it.

Nor me, starting price £10. Compared to most I have seen on the internet, they look as though they might have been cast yesterday.
