What was the source for this information ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Since it has the J mm (Hamburg), and there is no pattern listed for this coin, I would assume that it is likely a counterfeit produced in the middle east during the 1940&#039;s. &#039;50s, or &#039;60s. Gold coinage of all European nations was turned out in huge quantities at these factories. And the quality was such that it even fooled the Royal Mint. Size, weight, fineness was always correct. But the coins were fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
