Good Afternoon 

Firstly, this is my first post on here so I hope my photos are clear enough.

While out detecting yesterday I found this George 111 coin.

I spent several hours yesterday trying to identify this coin with no luck whatsoever.

He is facing left which is wrong and the coin appears to be a different metal.

I've looked a forgeries from the Victorian period and early gaming pieces but they all face right.

I hope someone can I'd this for me.

The reverse looks like a guinea

Hi 

Yes that what I thought but they were only in gold.

This has got me stumped 🧐

Hi! Then…it is quite simple: you found a fake of a real gold guinea coin! 👎

Bye-bye!
