AU condition but not sure about authenticity. The lack of sharp details is a huge red flag in my book.

If genuine, which I have my doubts, AU, but hard to tell what you have from these photos.

Thanks for your input. I will try to take better photos. What makes you think it isn't authentic?

Counterfeit! Mushy details, wrong color. Take a sharp image and i'll add more reasons fr my opinion. Looks like tool marks on the lower reverse.

Need a clearer photo. The color may be due to lighting.

The round berries on the reverse at 12 OC have nothing to do with the lighting. This is a characteristic fund on decades old fakes. Pull up an image of a genuine Type three gold coin and compare the design :)

Much better obverse picture, but I still think it is counterfeit. Lack of sharpness in the details along with the off-center obverse strike screams questionable authenticity to me.

Mushy details especially the lettering, razor sharp edge. Small lumps on the surface. This one looks like a Lebanese counterfeit to me.

Agree. old Lebanese fake from the 1970's. It is gold. Tool marks from the rim over the "E's"
