    Sure looks like it, with that seam and the soft surfaces.

    Yes, here's another example of the same cast, but different fake patina:

    EDIT: I noticed the RPC "plate coin" was a cast fake from the same mold, ex ETB/okidoki (who made the Fake Report above in 2016), so I went ahead and created a new Forum Fake Report for this specimen and forwarded the info to RPC. (Don't message them; I already did it.)

    The new report:

    Fake-ioca pud...sorry.

    Yes, it indeed looks fake with what @The Meat man has described.
