Contemporary counterfeit in gold of a Mexico City, Mexico, 8 escudos, 1863TH. KM-383.7. 27.04 grams. At first glance this appears to be a very lustrous and high grade (MS) specimen, but closer inspection reveals inconsistent design details (along with lots of surface hairlines). XRF testing indicates 74% gold, 14% silver and 11% copper. (Estimate: $1000 - 1500)
