Agree that it looks fake. Is it attracted to a magnet?

Looks fake.
I can tell you more about what it's supposed to imitate later.
Headed out of town now, and if someone doesn't do it first, I'll tell you what it is supposed to be.

@hugo, I think you still assume it is fake until proven real. Next step is to perform a specific gravity test or take it to a pawn shop or LCS for them to non-destructively analyze the alloy.

I believe that this numista link is to the pattern that this is purporting to be:

Hopefully @albert can confirm.

Most of these found now days are fake as said. The purple hue makes it look worse. I'm not hopeful on these.

Yes Spence is right, except Numista may have a typo for the year.
It should be about 1856-1858.
