tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 05:33 am The 5 centimes coin looks real to me. Maybe a die crack or some other type of defect towards the top of the monogram in your first enlargement? I don't know the token, but would be surprised anyone would counterfeit a token. Very nice!

kosek8787 New Member Poland 5 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 05:52 am tdziemia don't you think it's a coin cast? What caused such stripes adjacent to the protruding parts of the coin. As if the metal is stuck to the stamp. On the other hand, the coin appears to be of the period, with an original patina .. Report this Post to the Staff
norantyki Valued Member 404 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 07:07 am I believe that the striations are either metal flow, or a reworking of the die (dies tended to be used to their very last by the Belgian mint in this period). In my opinion, both are genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 07:16 am I also thought metal flow in the first photo, but seeing that the lines go OVER the devices (the ribbon), maybe die reworking is a better answer.. Edit: By chance I noticed this ebay listing, which I think is a reverese die match. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BELGIUM-5-...AOSwjF9fQ-PD The die flaw inside the monogram is at an earlier state of wear, but the flow lines/die lines are very similar.
