Hi all!
I got this coin a long ago from a friend. Scanned it today with coinoscope app and it took me to your website which I did not know before.
It seems similar to this result, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces80391.html but anyway a little bit different. Can anyone help me to recognize and evaluate it?
Thank you very much!
That's the token everyone seems to fall for, it's a Readers Digest Token and has basically no value as extremely common.

Sorry, it's clear I'm a rookie. Is that a replica of a real one, or is it anyway true but very common?
Replica.
The coin in your link is silver, so is not magnetic.
The other link is for the token, which is magnetic.

Here is some more info:
'Some time ago a correspondent to the 'Australian Coin Review' (now incorporated into the 'Australasian Coin & Banknote Magazine') mentioned having found, what appeared to be, an unlisted Austrian Ducat dated 1752 bearing the legend 'FRANC. D.G. R.I.S. A. GER. IER. REX.' with the portrait of Francis of Lorraine on the obverse and the legend 'TU DOMINE SPES MEA' on the reverse. It was very similar but 'not quite right' in comparison to others of that time period.
The 'coin' was in fact manufactured and distributed on behalf of the 'READERS DIGEST' organisation some 12 years ago as a promotional gimmick, and samples regularly turn up on market stalls in both 'gold' and 'silver' finishes.
These 'coins' usually have a dark chemical reaction spot in the centre where they had been attached with an adhesive glue to a 'Reader's Digest' give-away sheet.' - April 1996.
