    Not sure who that is but it looks good to me. Very interesting.

    This way I don't have to strain my neck. Not sure where the legends went. What is the diameter and weight?

    Looks a little grainy. Don’t all these have at least some text of some sort on the reverse?

    Surfaces and engraving look a little odd to me, but I am not an expert on this.

    The lettering is there, just worn off. Which means it has very uneven wear pattern. Questionable.

    20230523_112902.jpg yes, there is an erased inscription. This shows that most likely this is the original. Here I am enclosing for you the passport of this coin from this auction where it was sold.

    Just ringing your doorbell to see what you think of the coin.

    I'm with @The Meat man. Something seems off. It could just be the images I suppose.

    What do you mean by that?

    I'm disinclined to come out and say it's a fake, but I wouldn't buy this coin based off the images as they seem off to me. I hope I am wrong.

    I myself have a suspicion that this is a very old fake, which they offer me for 590 euros

    Do you know the seller? Have you purchased from them in the past? Are they reliable?
    If you do not know and have a relationship with them, I would pass.

    Style seems fishy to me as well, but like many others, this isn't my area of expertise.

    Over-aggressive cleaning?
