I am again hoping the pros on here might be able to ID this for me. I feel like I've looked pretty hard and can't seem to find one like this. It was in a lot of world coins with many older Japanese coins, tokens and coins from around the world. I'm pretty sure it is not one of the Japanese dragon dollars, rather a knock off. It appears to be silver and is not marked copy anywhere. There were a number of very rare coin repops in this lot so guessing this is one also. However on the outside chance that this is a good one, I'm hoping someone can help me out!

Haha that would explain why I could not find it! It appears to be the same coin for sure. Pretty cool coin!

I've come across fakes that looked real! though they were silver plated steel run a magnet over it if it sticks it's fake, that being said yours looks real
 

Thanks guys, it is not magnetic and weighs up right at 13.2 (a little over but scale has low batteries). So his must be a 50 cent piece coin.

Hard to imagine someone faking a $20-30 coin but you never know
 

That's a cool looking coin. It would make a nice pendant.

I actually think Your's looks more Real then the One on the Net :laughing7:

The one at the link looks too clean & steel like in appearance to my mind.

Being it is only .6500 Silver content, it should be toned not clean
