is this an error coin or a fake?

the center looks ok, the edge lettering is right, the weight is right - 8.49g, but I've seen some similar looking coins labeled as fakes. Any idea? Thanks! Sorry, this forum makes picture uploading a bit difficult...http://websta.me/p/841765913205461391_403687355
Last letter in face value does not correct. What's about the other side, btw? May I remind you that any coin has three sides.

no need to remind me - I will post links to the obverse and the edge pics if necessary. I'm aware of the last letter's shape, as well as the blunt details (stars) on the outer part of the reverse. on the upper part of the pic one can see a bit of yellow metal on the outer ring of the coin. yet, and that's the reason I didn't put any other pics - there are no apparent flaws on the obverse and the edge. that's why i'm not sure what to make of this coin :) does anyone know have those reconstituted euro coins from china some common defect from reassembling?
Thank you for your answer!

there seems to be everything ok with them. also, the coin is normally magnetic. I have what seems to be a cast copy that's even more magnetic than a normal coin :)
Thank you!
It is just an error.
Check my doubles ;)
Thanks! :D
I don't see anything suspicious. The only wrong detail is as I posted already too fat O at reverse.

But it could be decay of a die or anything else.

I think that it is a coin.

Thank you all for your help! :) The similar (to me at least) looking coin is posted by eazy.dog on error and fake coin discussion here on Numista. To me, that coin also shows ringed and blurry outer part with the inner part looking rather sharp and detailed. It is classified as a fake. No additional info is given.

it's the coin on the right ;)
When one starts make items outside the mint, he should pass all stages of the process. Rim is essential. And in most cases it's rim that permits to differ this production from coins.

The photos just above leave a chance for a conclusion that it's a strike by weak dies or the coin was in tomato juice for a few hours. To exclude these possibilities the rim picture is required.
