    Looking for feedback on this Khorezm 500 Rubles. I think it is Y 19.2 (in the 2011 Standard Catalog Of World Coins) It weighs 4.70 G. and is 19mm. Very hard to tell from listing because of "die varieties exist" details. I'm am a bit of a skeptic because of the condition (better than I would expect) and what appears to me to be signs that it was cast. Any ideas?

    Based on the picture alone, it looks to me like a genuine example that was dug out of the ground and cleaned up.
