Coin to the left is from NUmista (Cruzado Novo - João Prince Regent 2nd Type), and the seller of the coin to the right says it is the same coin he is selling. I pointed out the differences and he says it must be a different die. Do any of you know if there are many versions of this coin?

The font is different, number of dots, stripes and so on is different. See red outline in photo. Any thoughts?

The coin on the right is nicely made, but not an original product of the mint. You identified the points making this a false coin.
