Can't answer your question but I do know that chip in the left wheat ear is a sign to look for on a Chinese fake they used the same reverse for there fake coins the experts will be along shortly to confirm or give others ideas. But I would look into that aspect of your coin

Also an edge shot of your coin may give some more clues

 and a clearer close up shot of the date and mm, as the mm looks off to me, wrong position maybe? Others with expertise on this coin will be along soon I'm certain. |

Thanks guys!
The coin is not mine, it is set on a local online auction here so that was the first clue to suspect that it is a fake one. But I wanted to hear from more experienced guys here as it is really interesting one.
Thank you!

With only five known, I would assume that any new one is a fake until proven otherwise. You could bid on it contingent with it being sent to a TPG for certification (which you would pay for). "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Given that most of the modern counterfeits of this coin are being produced in Serbia, and noting your location, I suspect this is one of those. The font for the date is wrong so pretty much assured it is a fake, but also find the nose to be quite unusual. I also don't think I've seen rim finning on the reverse of a coin from this year like this one shows, but suggests that it is a struck counterfeit.

Those counterfeits was done using the 1942 design. You can see the alteration of the 2 changet in 3. Other point it is also the LIBERTY and what Trop allready mention.

Thank you guys!
I assumed it was so, although it was only after your messages that I saw these things. of course it is to be assumed that it is fake, but it is interesting, so I presented the topic here.
