Fake coin Index [opgelost]

Edit, there is a numistadoc article for this !
https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/modern-fakes-151.html

I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of fake coins for educational reasons, we all need to be able to spot fakes. Please feel free to post what you think needs to be added.

We might have to break this down into category's dues to the fact that there are so many variations.

As most fakes on here are from Asia, and I am not as interested in Asia, someone else might compile that list. Thanks

Not bad to get your eye used to the fakes.

Send a PM to Jedsada for new entries.

The orientation of the obverse and reverse designs is not in line.

I am not the first who paid attention:

The Royal Mint: A survey undertaken in May 2015 found that the rate of counterfeit UK £1 coins in circulation at the time was 2.55%, compared to 3.03% in May 2014.

Better check your collection

That looks like what I call a 'Hoard' coin.

Although yours is a pre die-clash version with a comma in the motto whereas the ones I examined from the 'hoard' all had the clash and no comma.
