Dear members, 

 

I've come upon an 1863 Rijksdaalder which is a rare coin and known to have many fakes. 

 

The surface of the coin is interesting and possibly the text too close to the rim - although it could be wear? 

What do you think ? Ive seen many fakes of these around but not 100% this time

 

Thank you! 

Weight, diameter, pictures of the rim?

Unfortunately this is all I have at the moment

Engraver's name on the obverse seems to be missing the last letter.

The grainy surface of the coin and the way the grainy texture continues over the lettering reminds me of a beach. I‘m going with highly likely to be cast.

Thank you all for your contributions, indeed the grainy surface and some other details make it very highly likely to be fake.
