can you explain how you are certain it is a fake?

I agree with Greenstang it is a fake.  Just take a look at photos of the only genuine coin, this one has none of the fine details of the genuine struck coin.

Simply compare the photo supplied to a genuine coin. It is easy to see many differences.

Thank you, @Greenstang. This allows us all to learn. I have collected for 50 years and have never held one in my hand, so 'it is fake', although correct,is nowhere near as helpful as your explanation.
