Has anyone come across a fake florin?

Thanks, just noticed it says "imitation"

Here is the reverse, had to zoom in to make it under 500 kb

Any ideas what this is? It's size is in-between 1.5d and 2d Thanks

I've done the 'ping' test on the tip of my finger against a .925 and a real .500 and it doesn't have the same tone as the other two. It is not magnetic

Thanks, have just ordered a silver testing kit

here is the reverse

It has a higher pitched ting to it. I can hear and feel the difference when i flip it . I will try the ping test with a pre 1920. Thanks for the replies

thanks for the replies. it is slightly fatter than a real one but the width is good. interesting to hear that it may have leached some copper but doesn't seem too worn. i have worn ones but they all weigh 13.7 and up. has anyone else 1920-1946 fake half crowns?

thanks. do you think this is an old fake?

this (real) one aslo 1942 weighs 14.1g

is this fake? weighs 12.9 g . thanks
