No.
One poster said that there are some copies of older gold coins made with a lower carat gold.

Of the coins shown by the original poster, another poster said

Quote:
It is probably made of a base metal that's been plated.

... and elements of the design give it away as fake.

a piece like this one is called modern numismatic fraud (NF) intended by the seller to deceive the ignorant buyer; a serious coin collector should learn to recognize NF that has no value at all, even if it is shiny and looks nice and old

it is a pity when someone pays any sum for such worthless item
