Probably not really intended to deceive, more likely a modern "replica" instead. Still, I had to have it, if just for the "zombie" eagle.

This one is probably made of a base metal (not silver).

Yes it weighs 20 grams. Found regularly on ebay in Europe. If you tell the seller that it's underweight, he will tell you that it's just right, because it says "20 Gs." on it. :-)

Actually, this one weighs 26 grams. But there can still be no doubt that it's a base metal alloy beginning to show through the cheesy "silver" plating.
