Very nice coin.
Looks snowy white too ..

 

The weight and dimension seem right. Here is some more info - I want to share this picture with you from the Numista Webpage -

 

Very commonly faked coin. In recent years there have been more high quality fakes on the market than genuine examples in this condition. Not possible to authenticate from pictures and measurements alone.
I am of the opinion that this coin is one of the newer modern copies and this thread is meant as a test of the latest generation of the product (market research for the producer).

 

No, it not the test. The coin was bought by me in a small little shop in Germany. Opinions into the account of authenticity disperse, decided to ask at this forum

 

This is my example (already graded by NGC):

 

OP's coin on left, certified on right. I also see some differences...

 

Looks like one on the right is holding a torch, while the one on the left is holding an ice cream cone

 

Her face and hair appear more detailed as well.

 

Yes, the one on the left has flatter details overall.

 

Anyway, 25 euros inexpensive lesson. I will leave as a souvenir, all the same in such grade I will be able hardly to buy it

 

Nice coin! For my information, what did it grade? I want to compare it to my 1928 version, as shown here.
