Hello,

Is this a replica? Sure looks like they got the background right if it is.

I appreciate the help.

regards, Robert

Hi Robert, it is nice indeed, but IMO a cast copy.
Too many differences if compared with an original die struck type II piece and some traces of casting don't give it a chance to be a good one.
Let it where it is.

Thanks Antonio! Good looking fake.

That is a pretty impressive fake, would have fooled me. The detail and stippling look very well done, as well as the bronze finishing looks believable. Thanks Antionio.

Looks like it was cast directly from an original...the lettering on the reverse jumps out as having quite a rounded profile rather than the hand-chiselled look of the originals.
