Here are pictures of my piece ... hard to say which is the obverse and which is the reverse, since the same dies were used.
Both my token and that shown in the original post seem to be cast copies with the legends showing the typical fuzziness around the edges. The third picture in this post shows a detail of the hole where the copper color continues into the hole; also, it clearly shows a cast mark running along the edge.
Looks like a plier was used to test the edge on the first image ... might have been done by the faker to make it look more "genuine". Also, there is what looks like a filled hole on the word "DIED" on one side, but interestingly not on the other side (on both coins).
