Hello all! 

 

I received this odd 2019-D German 2 Euro coin today and I am wondering if it is just riddled with mistakes or if it is perhaps a fake? A few major differences:

 

1. The thin lines between the stars on the silver ring usually seen on the obverse of the German 2 Euro are extremely faint and feel flat to the touch.

2. The map of Europe on the reverse looks very crude and poorly drawn with details missing.

3. There is no inscription on the outer ring!

4. You can barely see the year.

 

Do I have a fake here? 

 

Thanks so much!

Definitely a fake 2 euro

1.Missing edge lettering

2.The lines on the outer grey ring surrounding the eagle on the reverse are way too wide apart as compared to a genuine 2 euro

3.Map is poorly drawn, and it should be porous

4.Eagle looks different

5.The stars are so badly striked

6.The length of the base of the “2” is different to that of a genuine one

Its a very bad fake 🤣

I am more experienced in the field of ancient and chinese coins, south-east asian coins included too!

Thank you! How interesting- this is the first one I have come across. I almost thought it was a toy Euro from a kids game or something. 

 

Thanks for your help!
