Oh no, I bought a counterfeit?

I just obtained a coin, and after finally finding it in our catalogue, I read some disturbing words. "English Counterfeit"....
I assume the one I purchased is also.... any input?
Here is a photo of my coin, and a link to our page with it shown:

Thank You

I do not think it is forged.
To be sure, please ask Arie:

​I can't access Arie from that page, or don't know how to anyways. That's a very nice coin you have :)

What is the weight of the coin?

According to the dutch catalog the real coins weigh approximately 3 g. The contemporary English counterfeits are made with lighter and thinner planchets.

For those who regard coins as historical documents, a contemporary counterfeit may be just as interesting as the real coin!

@ArnoV just if you paid a decent price for that counterfeit coin

​Even though it is considerably worn, it weighs exactly 3g.... I guess that's a good sign. I bought it from a man on a corner in Los Angeles, he was selling crack cocaine, so I figured he stole it, and it was probably real haha... just kidding, I paid 6 USD for it :)

6 USD?
Not bad for a coin that is difficult to come by in the US
And if you see the quality and prices here in Europe:

Since we have some access to real ones then should we update the catalogue to show an authentic one? The existing photos aren't fantastic regardless.

​Done, just waiting for the change by the moderator

So... How to distinguish the English Counterfeit from the other one ?

Careful to not edidate the picture of the fake one with a real one : we already have two differents pages for them
