Looking for more information, and approximate value if possible, on this coin that has been made into a watch fob. I've found several similar, but not exact matches, by googling, and am curious to know more! Thanks in advance for any help

No need to be sorry, any info is good info! I wondered the same, hence the (?) in my title.

Fakes in good quality gold are common.
The style of this one is not correct, and the details are indistinct.

It looks like a fake, but pictures only will not reveal if this one is in good gold or not.
Also impossible to tell if the gold is good or not by weighing it, due to the attached mount.

Even IF the coin itself was genuine. it would not be worth much more than bullion value, because the mount has turned it into a jewelry piece, and therefore it must be assessed as a jewelry piece only.
