This post is for this coin:
I have owned an example of this coin for a while, but just recently looked it up in the Numista database. Now that I have done that, I am starting to wonder if my coin is real or not.
Here are some physical parameters:
Weight = 1.38 grams
Diameter = 18.2 mm
Non-magnetic
Orientation: Coin
Color: Brown
Date: 1676
Very crude die work.
Here are some pictures:

Concerns:
1. Coin orientation (Numista webpage says it should be medal orientation)
2. Reverse legend has “NAR” instead of “NOR”
3. Obverse legend: no dots between “V G D DAN”
4. Obverse legend: “DAN” appears to be spelled as follows: backwards D, then a dot, then AN
My coin looks similar to the picture in the valuation table for the 1677 coin (same brown color; same crude die work). The picture at the top of the Numista webpage looks to be gray in color and has much better die work.
Should a coin that is less than 30% look gray or brown? Presumably, the other element mixed in with the silver is copper…
So what do you think? Real or not? If it isn't real, would it be a contemporary counterfeit, or a modern fake?
