matt2442 Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 05/18/2025 10:36 am Wondering if anyone can share insight/opinions on the authenticity of this? Part of a relative's collection. Diameter and weight match this linked example. But it doesn't look exactly the same. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a345659.html Report this Post to the Staff

igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1339 Posts	Posted 05/18/2025 10:47 am Numista comments section indicates a Variant with ¨NI 917¨ and ¨23 B¨ (with close up photos) ... perhaps yours is not the variant? Not really my lane, see what others think. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
publius Pillar of the Community United States 788 Posts	Posted 05/18/2025 11:38 am The obvious difference, beyond the fact that yours has a mirror finish and the one in the Numista photo does not (maybe it's just the photography, but it looks as though someone has been at it with a wire wheel!), is that yours is 900 fine, marked as such with an indented stamp, but the one in the Numista photos is 917, marked in relief without indent. Frankly I would be more likely to regard your specimen as trustworthy. Report this Post to the Staff
matt2442 Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 05/18/2025 1:03 pm Thank you both for the insightful replies. There's no real red flags to me to suggest it's obviously fake. I just don't see a perfectly matched example. I suppose I just need to get it checked for gold content at the coin shop. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6120 Posts	Posted 05/19/2025 03:25 am I think it's this one. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a220826.html Report this Post to the Staff
matt2442 Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 05/19/2025 09:12 am Yes that one has an identical appearance, including the indented marks. The listed width/weight of that one is different. Mine is 28mm and 12g. But the listing you sent also has a comment that these were made in different widths/weights. The edge details match. I'll update when I know for sure. Thanks.
