Looks fake to me! All details are very shallow 

Because in another life, I was a carpenter😂

100% fake 

It’s as bent as a £30 note mate 👍🏻

I go on the fake side

Not familiar with this coin at all but there’s something reeking about it for me which means it’s probably real 🤣🤣🤣

That's a load of rubbish, otherwise I'd despise a significant number of fine women.

Modern proof dies are all laser cut these days, so the details in tiny coins doesn't impress me as much as it would have done on older coins. Even 1oz coins have some fun tiny details on them that act as security features, some of which I only realised existed recently.
With tiny coins, I can't imagine there being much more to it than scaling down the design of a larger coin, changing some text, and hitting print. The dies for smaller coins are much faster to etch, and polishing the fields is also so much quicker than with larger coins. The scope for profit seems much greater when the manufacturing time is lessened. Maybe this is what the RM have realised with this glut of 1/40oz coins they're churning out

Sovereign for scale?

Nice. Mine was 4 of 6 and was in equally decent condition. Nice unreleased coin for the collection
