Spike between hand holding Sword and
St George body is an issue .

After closer examination, I feel this coin is counterfeit.
Details on the arm, horses head above eye and tail seem off. Here's a genuine coin for comparison.

I agree with IndianGoldEagle that it's a fake.
There are a few discrepancies even in proportions and angles.

I'm not seeing it, but IGE has good sense for fake golds. The obv. certainly looks legit.
