But - assuming your second image is the same coin as the first image - it's not real either. It seems to be a modern fantasy copy (probably promotional of some kind). I don't know enough to say if it's silver (but likely not). I think I have better pillar dollars in my chocolate money collection. They at least have the correct design on both sides Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 07:33 am Assuming that this is not a joke, one of the many questions one should ask in this situation is, why would the Spanish put an English and French description of their "coin" on one side? In other words, to determine authenticity (even if you have not seen the original coin), you should also apply common sense and logic. I have seen lots of these and I am assuming that they came from a cereal package or some sort of a game. Edited by oriole 04/21/2016 07:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

It's not even an attempt at counterfeiting one because, as mentioned above by other members, the language is incorrect. So it must be some kind of celebration coin or promotional thing.....
