Simply take a look at the coin's details, genuine mint products have crisp lettering, uniform strike, and consistent detail. Just compare it with pics online. If the lettering is mushy and the fields are uneven, then you know that it is a counterfeit.
I wouldn't go much further than weighing the coin and sliding a small magnet across the surface of the coin/plastic capsule.
A more destructive way but one of the best is to flick it into the air. It's a stylish ping test, just don't drop them on the ground.
There are hardly any decent fakes of these, so if it looks good it probably is good.
