This weighs 19.1 grams and has a diameter of about 29 millimeters.

Reverse is Laetitia

The reverse is far too yellow due to some lighting issue. The obverse is close.

The edge looks smooth in spots with some sanding/ filing marks. Some colour showing, and the colour is a bit brassy.

My concern is that it is rather evenly and significantly worn and very smooth, almost too good. Is this a good copy or simply the result of a very thorough cleaning?

Coin looks good to me. The reverse looks like it was cleaned too much. The weight seems fine for this coin.

The coin appears genuine, but harshly cleaned and than lacquered.
