Hi everybody,
I bought this coin in a shop of old things in Edinburgh but not sure it's not a fake
Weight 13,85 g
Diameter 31,9 mm
Thickness 1,82 mm
it seems smaller; it's not? thanks for your help

yes, but only the front is worn as if very used, the back is like never used. this is suspicious, how can it happen?

Weight and dimensions are crucial for being genuine and then there are some way to determine if it's Silver
