But the coin was not gilded, by applying a thin layer of gold post-striking, but the gold-sheet and the core were struck together into the coin.</p><p>The coin is also way too heavy. My unreliable Chinse scales said 6.8 grams. Note the big excess rim, which I think makes no sense on a genuine official gold coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is possible, that the coin was struck from official dies. The strange rendering of the Letter R, which can be similar to N and A, can also be seen on official examples. But again, I&#039;m not sure.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coins below were the model:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=678550" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=678550" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=678550</a></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1914194" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1914194" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1914194</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one was sold for 440 Swiss Francs (some 440 USD) in 2000. I would take it at this price:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=73820" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=73820" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=73820</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
