    We would need to see your coin to be able to determine if it is real.
    You don't have a friend or family that could take a picture for you?

    In my opinion.. the color looks off. Might be a replica.
    How much did you pay for it?

    the color is off because my brother held it to a flame for some reason

    You can't really expect to buy a 300 year old gold coin for $2 at a flea market.

    Well, it makes a cool pocket piece.
    You really should do some research, $2 for something different to flip for heads or tails.
    I'm thinking it should be in more of a coin form like this 200 reis.

    Or he's a 15 year old kid that doesn't know anything about coins and that got taken in by some guy at a flea market.

    But nahhhhhhh - stuff like that doesn't happen. He has to be a troll :rolleyes:

    Jonathan, your coin is a modern replica, a novelty piece. That is not even worth the $2 you paid for it.

    If you have an interest in coins, good for you. But be very wary of ever buying coins at a flea market, or yard sales, or any places like that.
