Hello friends, I found this coin, it is not listed in catalog.

It is same coin as this - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23934.html

but the material is another - copper. You can add this coin to catalog if you want.

What on earth does that mean? 20% of the coin is fake and 80% of it is genuine?

check please the diameter of your coin to see if it matches, I would say either just a token or a contemporary.

I'd raise the chance of this being a fake to 99%. Probably a counterfeit of the time made for circulation. It could have been coated with silver which was later worn or washed off.

I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.

Lehet hamis vagy akár próbaveret, de ha korabeli hamisitvány akkor lehet érdekes és keresett is. Próbálkozzal Amerikai fórumokon utánna nézni.

There are no 4 Soles copper coins and the only Sol copper patterns are made in other years. I also think it's a contemporanean fake.

I'm not orange and also in other things I'm not a Donald at all. DonChori like Don Felipe or Doña María, por favor.

Yes I see some silver washing, probably a contemporary counterfeit.
