I'm not sure if you can call that a "coin".
With no denomination, I would say it was a medallion.

Sorry its a counterfeit of the 2012 silver plated 50 cent Canada Titanic coin. It shouldn't have Fiji on it and it needs 50 cents. Here's an ad with the real McCoy, from gatewest 141748996387 for comparison. Usually ebay is littered with these, when you search Titanic coins. As a noob I nearly fell for these in 2012. I hope this clarifies. I have also noticed some sellers will have other fake coins.

Same seller has an active listing for this fake that ends in 5 days.

This is the authentic coin.

R.M.S. Titanic - Silver-Plated 50 cent Coloured Coin (2012)

It was very popular and appreciated in price very quickly. I guess that's why it is faked some much.

Thank heavens the Fiji coin is a 'copy'. If that were a government effigy of the Queen, I'd recommend she see an eye, nose, and throat doctor. Mostly for the lumps in her neck.

sadly, that is pretty much an accurate effigy from authentic New Zealand mint coins like these.
