    This is a 1743 8 reales coin, it says COPY with ITALY marked on the back. I would like to know more about this coin because I haven't been able to find anything about it.

    Don't know what else to tell other than the obvious - it's a fake and it says so right on it.

    So what else exactly do you want to know ?

    I'm curious, what did you think the "copy" meant?

    Yes, I KNOW it's a fake. But I would like to know more about it, like when was it made, where in Italy it was made, etc.

    You will never be able to find that out. The people that make these fakes keep no records and they sure don't advertise that they are making them.
