The piece is supposed to be a silver Rider (ducaton) from the Netherlands state of Zeeland. KM57 . It should weigh 32.78 grams. I suspect a Chinese Counterfeit, not silver- there are details that do not match the care taken with striking these pieces- the nose of the rider, the legs of the horse, the weakness of the middle of the shield design, the beading around the rims, for example.
Also, is the Australia crown the same type of counterfeit? It is weak in many places, and there appears to be casting signs among the lettering, with some weak and strange details. The weight should be 28.28 grams.
