I have this coin which I believe is definitely a replica of this coin 1747 Republic of Lucca - 1 Scudo
(https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57845.html)
Before I put it in my fakes bin I figured I'll reach out here and see if anyone has any other ideas.
Images:
A few things to note:
- Rim seems off / edge is smooth
- Missing "LIBERTAS" in band
- seems to have a metal plating (as some parts are rubbed off)
- Diameter is 41.6mm / Thickness at coin Rim 3.13mm - Thickness at coin center 2.7mm
- Weight 27.2gr
- Specific Gravity 8.66 (Copper?) / Non Magnetic
- Seems struck as opposed to cast
Based on all the above is it a replica or is it something else?
Thanks,
Aaron
