Hello,
I’m 99.9% certain this is genuine, but would like some opinions about it as I don’t know so much about gold. The weight is juuust a little off but I think that comes from the wear? Does it look all right?

diameter: 20.7mm
thickness: 0.7mm
weight: 4.04g
metal: gold

Hmmm. Are you sure? It seems heavier than the gambling tokens I have and it has some lustre...it reflects light pretty well.




I was just sort of worrying if it’s really from the 18th century since it’s so well-preserved and all...oh well.

Check for gold with a jeweler

​I think this one is authentic, no need to worry.

Not really that well preserved to be a bit blunt. ;)

Thank you! I kinda had to be sure since it was the first time buying from this seller and I spent some money on it...

Anyway, good to know! A bit bent partly but it's preserved well for me, I guess.
