The photos are really small, which makes it hard to determine the date or mintmark. Can you see if you can get some larger photos?

That is certainly not a genuine 5 dollar gold unless the staples are monstrous. A five dollar gold would be the size of a nickel. A staple is much smaller than a nickel.

@BigSilver, good catch on the staples. I didn't notice that!

It appears to be a replica or jewelry piece, not a real coin. It would be worth its gold content.

Looks like a counterfeit, unfortunately.
