travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1122 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 08:56 am I would say it's a modern replica. I believe the mark "RI" (can't really see it) under the portrait may give you an indication of the maker of the reproduction. Correction: I guess I would say it's NOT replica since (as Bob pointed out)it has wrong metal content. This threw me off b/c fakes don't advertise that they are copies.

If this were real, it would have been struck, not cast.
