tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7958 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 09:27 am The legends (the lettering around the rim) are similar to this Edward IV (gold) quarter ryal, but much of the design of your coin is different https://www.coinarchives.com/427de0...age01019.jpg The coin in the link is 21 mm in diameter (size of a U.S. nickel), but only 1.9 grams (less than the weight of a U.S. dime), so the real coin is very thin. Perhaps yours is not a real coin, but something made to look approximately like the one in the link? Edited by tdziemia 04/15/2018 09:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 10:22 am We need to know the diameter and the weight of this item, and the thickness too, if possible. It looks corroded, which is why I suspect that it is not gold. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 3:53 pm It looks like a modern reproduction to me. In the future, though, PLEASE don't hold coins with pliers or similar implements. That's a surefire way to scratch up the surface. Holding it with your fingers by the edge is fine. Assuming this is fake, I suppose it's better to learn that lesson here than with a real piece. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 7:35 pm It seems to be way too thick for a genuine hammered coin of this diameter. The detail is too indistinct for a genuine hammered gold coin. My strong suspicion is, that it is a gold plated tourist copy. Report this Post to the Staff
