Anyone knows the alignment and the thickness of this coin?(https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces74350.html)
I bought it from ebay and I'm skeptical of it being real! Any other ideas to check its ingenuity?

If it is real, then it is very much cleaned.
Alignment has no meaning, they were hammered.

I think it is real, because a lot of nice examples of these coins can be found.
