It does not have the correct weight tho as most I have found weigh in at 4.3ish grammes.&nbsp; It is probably a fake unless there was a heavier coin that I have not found out about yet.&nbsp; Oh well only paid a couple of pounds for it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/dazman/unknown.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
