    Put a drop of dip right on the chip. It will turn pink if it is copper. It does not look like one to me.

    I don't see any copper showing in the images. You have the coin in-hand, so you are the best judge. To me it looks fine.

    Weight? It doesn’t look like a fouree.

    Nice coin! It looks fine to me. Weight information would be helpful, but I'm sure it is not a fourrée.

    What date did Savaco assign to this coin? It looks like a lifetime to early posthumous issue.

    it is a price 3316 (328-320) so it is most likely a lifetime mint. i’m kinda hoping it is because it’s cool to think about that he was alive when it was minted
