Hi all

I bought this for the grand sum of one pound! What a bargain I thought until I got it home that is and noticed writing on the other side of the price tag!!! z|  B.  :D

It measures 37.9mm and is 2.43mm thick, I think there giveaway is that the coin is in coin alignment rather than medal alignment!!  z)










I wonder how many of these fakes are out there and if they were produced the wrong alignment purposely or not  8~


Cheers, John  :)

Had all my suspicions when seeing the (obvious) nickel-silver damage on the coin. Really nice design nonetheless

There's that old saying "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"
