I would expect 'fake' to be the answer, but why?

Wrong obverse die
Wrong reverse
Extra rim visible
Die markers absent
Extra "blobs" visible
Lettering is not right
Watch your top knot

fake, due to the one of the highest value ratio to melt it gets faked even to a very high standard.

I asked the question 'why', and could have proceeded with getting to the answer myself, but I knew that there were others that could give a much better answer, to the betterment of us all.

Thanks echidna and airgem
