Tell me how you think you know this coin is real? I know this is a fake and for £12..

"IRB" on any coin are the initials of Ian Rank-Broadley, who designed the 1998 portrait of Her Majesty and all those coins are legal tender.

How would you tell if it is fake or not? I wanted to buy one but don’t know what makes it fake if you know what I mean.

Hello Its where it says IRB copy under the queens head. This is to show its not legal tender and to be used for display in albums etc. The reviews are quite useful. Regards

Does it look like the real thing? Or does it say its a copy on it?

Yes the back does look like the real thing. However I believe on a copy , COPY is written under the Queens head. God Bless Her. 😢

Terrible quality

Received today and had to be the worst copy I’ve ever seen , it’s all tainted and rusty, I wanted it for a filler in the set but would rather leave a gap , see for yourself , I will be requesting a refund
