All the 1676's look struck, but the crack is in the same place on all of them, so more likely cast. Pretty high quality fakes. I don't like the look of the lions, and the S in what I think are the three fakes looks like a serpent. Those three also have a strange surface granularity in the open areas, which should be much smoother.
The 1676 in the upper left looks the most real on account of the double striking on the castle and the cross.
The 1672 shows casting bubbles and the S is terrible.
