Agreed.

With a closer look both look like counterfeits made for tourist, I have one. Carefully file or scape the edge to see if another color shows up. The fake I have is lead and leave gray streaks on paper.

Details are too soft...

Congrats! That's great news to hear. I know that these coins were made very crudely and different from most other coins which makes them sometimes look fake when they are not.
