1897 shilling

[matrawr]

Not my specialty but I purchased at a car boot recently would like to make sure it's genuine  (or not!) So I was able to slide a magnet off it would like to know what you all think? Some images were taken under daylight and some under a kitchen light whether that makes a difference or not I don't know any help appreciated thanks

Well it looks awful but I've no idea why anyone would want to fake such a thing, it's not really valuable enough.

Weight might be a little low but could be ok allowing for the wear.

Do the dimensions seem ok and does it sound right on pinging.

Did the magnet test suggest silver?

I carried out a specific gravity test and came in at around 9.83-9.89 which seems to fail the test the magnet slid off the coin as it should have not too fast.
