Hi guys!

Today I have found this coin. However, I am not sure if it is not a fake. What do you think?



Thank you in advance!

Hello,

It doesn't look bad at first sight, however some details seem to be missing despite the coin excellent condition... Do you have the weight and size ?

Personal perspective: red flags up the wazoo.
Better pics are key.
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!

Extremely suspicious for me; the rim and denticles are very, very off, compared to a genuine example of this coin in good condition:
