Is this fake? It is round and undated.

Looks like it's been smoothened out, especially around the edges. This would explain why there's no inscription and date, since despite being incused. Is the diameter larger than a normal 20p piece? Is it thinner than a normal 20p?

Due to the blurriness of the last picture of the heads side, I can't tell just how much detail has been lost (mostly looking at the Queen's hair and the engraved lines therein)

Does the edge have any notches that would remind one of those on normal 20p pieces?

It seems to be the same diameter.

A lot of the crown seems to be faint.

The side are perfectly smooth with no notches.

Would you mind doing a rim and face comparison between this and a normal 20p coin?

It looks thinner, so I imagine it took a hit with some sand paper.

Or maybe it has been through a lot of wear, because the diameter did not change much.
