Hello,

I have a Silver coin but no idea where this is from. Weight is 11 g and diameter is 34 mm. Is this fantasy coinage, fake or genuine?

Thanks,
Michael

Looks like a modern copy of a coin with runes (viking?) writing.
Probably a souvenir piece from a museum, from the colour it looks like it could be silver
