thank you
This year is pretty rare (less than half a milion)...

1st good thing is the weight corresponds.

But I'm not completely sure...

Anymore advice?

It looks OK from the photos, and like chomp-master says, the weight is correct.
I'm not an expert by any means, so this also looks OK to me:

It's also a 20g coin.

In my opinion, if you have $10,000 to spend on a coin, go to a reputable dealer, so you can at least see the coin in-hand, not to someone on ebay where you're just going by a couple of photos.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
Looks authentic
Welcome!

I agree with BizzoDoes.
