Hi,
A brief search leads me to conclude there are many copies of the 1727 polushka, and I think this is another one, though I didn't see this exact design in any of my searches. I also struggled to find GOOD photos of the real deal. Opinions on this one welcome.
Specs:
Weight = 2.8 grams
Diameter = 19.6 mm
Yes, the verdigris is unfortunate if it's real.
Thanks.

Bitkin does not know about any polushka novodels. He lists 1 kopeck novodels.
E is wrong. Second solid border was only on 2 kopecks in catalogue images.

Different from genuine items or different from novodels? I noted that the font of the numbers does not match anything that I found. That is what lead me to think it's a poor copy of a rare item with artificial aging with verdigris.
