Hello. Generally it is supposed to be this coin. The exact one is hard to tell with the photos provided but it already looks suspicious. For a better assessment, please tale it out of the capsule and provide photos with a clear background. Weight, diameter, and a silver test could also help in determining authenticity.

It is my opinion that this is a replica. There are simply too many things wrong with it and many letters and features simply don't line up. Improper weight and diameter would be the easier way to determine a replica.

Nice find, even if it is not real.
Is it 'gold' color or is that the light?
Can you provide the weight and dimension?
You can take it to e jeweler for the weight and silver test
