 to the CCF, Catchme! We'll need MUCH better photographs of your coin, along with the weight, diameter, and thickness, in order to evaluate it. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

@cat, first welcome to CCF. Second, as best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin, I've split off your reply from that old thread. For reference, here is a link to it: http://goccf.com/t/457119"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Without better pictures, it's impossible to make determinations for certain, but given the blurriness and lack of detail apparent, my guess would be a cast copy, or struck from cast dies.
Check to see if your coin sticks to a magnet.

No question it is counterfeit simply for the fact that the arrow tip on the reverse is above the numeral 2 which would make this a type 2 reverse. Only a type 1 obverse paired with a type 1 reverse can be genuine for this date.
