All I have are the seller's pics. I was pleasantly surprised when I got it in hand. Under a magnifying glass it looks much better than depicted...
It wasn't intended to be, that's why it was rendered in copper. But it was intended to have at least some value, hence the typically large size of...
Depends on how you define real money. Technically speaking, clad coins are fiat money, just like paper notes, intrinsically of very little worth....
