Thaler 1795 Modern Fake, historical counterfeit or Abschlag? [solved]

2 posts
Hello everyone!,

I just received this Thaler and sadly instantly knew its not a real one. Now I'am asking you experts what this is exactly. The details are quite fine and dont look like the more common modern fakes. Even the edge details are the right ones. The diameter is around 38-39mm and the weight is totally wrong (19g instead of 28g). Cant say what metal it is but it has to be quite lighter than silver (its not magnetic).
So is this a modern Fake/replica/restrike or an contemporary counterfeit/restrike using a less precious metal.

Indeed replica/forgery/copy , propably cast...
I hope it did not cost to much...
