So I got that coin in the midst of world coin lot. It look too new to be from 1813 so it’s either fake/reproduction. I know it’s Argentinian cause of the sun on one of the sides. Does anyone know what it is? Any help would be much appreciated.

Probably a reproduction, but have you silver tested? Need accurate weight and diameter.

It’s 1,6cm in diameter I have no way of weighing it unfortunately.

It looks like someone took the center of the bimetallic 1$ coin which in turn is a copy of the first Argentinean coin, the 8 escudos of 1813
