First I want to apologise for the photos. This is due to current health problems. I think that is is a fake, so I wouldn't be disappointed if I was shot down in flames! It came in a lot and cost less than 4GBP shipped. So you know what you're trying to see, I found a paduan copy on vcoins here: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/lo...vanni_da_cavino_15001570/1358231/Default.aspx Slight difference from mine that is about 29.5mm and weighs 5.07g.
That would be an amazing steal if it is real! I hope it is My opinion is so bad, it asks for a second opinion, but I'd still share it. However, it's just too hard to say anything one way or the other with those pics. Anyway to stabilize your camera? like on top of a cup works well for me with my cell. And more light?
It is absolutely not too much trouble to fake a coin in that condition. Simple bronze cast from an original or another fake. Hard to be certain what the exact surface condition is from that photo but you can certainly get fake patina that looks similar to that light green with simple chemical processes. It is common to see similar looking fakes in markets in Central Europe. Not saying this one is fake. Can't tell from the photo. SC
I have never seen a Paduan with so much wear. If genuine, i wonder where it circulated to such an extent that it is so well worn.
