Hi all,

After realising just how prevalent reproduction coins are, I thought I'd post another from my collection for your opinions

I'm a novice. Especially with world coins. So take it for what little that may be worth. I spent some time comparing it to a slabbed example I found online and everything seems copacetic. My vote is genuine. Beautiful coin.

Looks OK to me.
Looks a little brassy, but that could be due to the lighting, but the sharpness of detail is OK, for an authentic coin with this much wear.
If you wish, check it for weight.
In uncirculated condition it should weigh 25.5 grams, this one perhaps around 25.4 grams, allowing for wear loss.
