So far I have not found anybody in numista asking the question about a holed coin and the answer was: Yes, it's really a gold charm!
Of course, it might happen one day.

Quote: "erik.edel"Is there any way to check if its real or gold or not?Find the volume of the coin and multiply the volume in mm3 with the weight of gold and see if you get a result of 0.5 grams

Quote: "erik.edel"Look at the hole, its exactly on the same position. Ant the green piece of Patina on the rim is also on exactly the same spot. Unfortunately i have nothing to measure the thiknes but its around 0,3mmThat's because it is your coin. I just cropped your pictures so people could see them better.
So using your measurements we get:
7.5*7.5*3.14*0.3*.0193 = 1.02 grams
With the "guess" at the thickness, it's in the realm of possibility that it is gold.
Or, more to the point, you can't rule out it's gold based on the size and weight.
thats why it looks the same.

That's not a year. They are not numbers. There is a "year" at the bottom center of 78.

It's obvious it's not a real coin. The toughra on the obverse is not real, the regnal year 78 at the top doesn't exist (like sjoelund already said), the Mint name isn't real etc.

I wasn't trying to say it's a real coin and the 78 regnal year didn't make sense to me either until I saw this coin with a year of 82 on it. Thanks for showing the correct orientation.
