    I have spent a couple of years researching this piece, and have very little to show for my efforts, other than it's a COUNTERFEIT, forgery, whatever you want to call it. It's very deceptive, although badly damaged on the reverse, as per photo. It is NOT marked "Copy" or any other wording. The edge has very fine, precise reeding. Small areas of the obverse are nearly proof-like. The metal "appears" to be silver, but I can't guarantee it, no way to test.

    No idea whether it's vintage or contemporary; it "looks" very old, which enhances its deceptive appearance, and, has the "look" of old silver. To resell this coin on eBay, you would need to mark the reverse "Copy" or whatever wording eBay requires. Image C906-907b, KRV7.

    Price, $75 - PayPal or money order, postpaid and insured. Shipped only to the United States.
