Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/02/2019 3:21 pm Welcome to the board, Mauro. Yes, it's a well documented fake. At least one of the entries on the fake reports states that this issue is "of Bulgarian manufacture; Studio of Slavey Petrov." Edited by Kamnaskires 06/02/2019 3:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 06/03/2019 9:40 pm Yes, the Eid Mar is one of the most celebrated coins in the hobby. I've never seen one even in the museums I've visited in Europe. The ironic thing is that since the item expired ebay is suggesting another coin. "We found something similar" it states, and shows a listing of another fake. Edited by jskirwin 06/03/2019 9:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 11:23 am I have attached pictues of the fake coin and auction listing, because the link will eventually become invalid and this topic will be nearly worthless. Report this Post to the Staff
