Please help identify!

Can anyone identify this? Found this today in a Sacramento, CA area park that used to be a Mexican horse ranch. Read a solid 87 on my AT Pro and weighs approximately 19 grams. My gut tells me it's fake; but I really don't know for sure. If it is fake, what is it a fake of? Ideas anyone?

Fantasy / fake / copy cob coin. IMO

I agree with AARC...
Looks like it is not a true "coin".
I'd say fantasy piece.
I see what looks like seams around the edges making it a cast copy.
Originals were stamped out of a chunk of silver and had no edge seams.

Cool find though....

I kind of know the feeling... but just for the "brief moment" like you.

Hell, we don't know. Have you taken it to a jeweler to see if it's silver/gold (can't tell from the photo)? Probably fake, but hey, you never know until an expert looks at it! Neat find at any rate!

Sorry, that's untrue. I'm no expert & this one is a clear copy, 100% easy to tell from the photo.
OP,
Don't waste anymore time on it, just look for the real deal.
