    I'm not an expert on kangaroos so for those who know them well, does this coin look authentic or fake?

    Cheers

    I will receive this coin soon (I hope), going to test it with a PM verifier so heres a chance for everyone to try to distinguish authenticity of the coin based on photos

    Just received the coin today, weights 31.1 grams and tested within range on the pm verifier, so the coin appears to be real after all.
    Very happy with it
