This scruffy piece arrived in a job lot of tokens, I was surprised to see it rates reasonably well in SCWC

It looks like there is a reasonably good coin below the grime.

I hate being the messenger, but this coin is counterfeit and its place among tokens is quite right.

There is luckily a bunch of elements, which can't be well reproduced in garages yet. This particular piece among other flaws has a shifted date on the obverse. The axis of the letter "T" in ZŁOTYCH should separate cleanly digits 9 and 3. Here it ends up on '3'. Following this method you can avoid fakes even when the photo is that bad.

Sorry...

on this forum is like we say in France more "oeil de lynx"a very little detail is not one problem . But when your eyes are old is more difficult

Thank you I did have my suspicion about this piece.

However your comment "The axis of the letter "T" in ZŁOTYCH should separate cleanly digits 9 and 3. Here it ends up on '3'. " is only good to those in the know. This being the first polish 'coin' I have looked at in many years!

Not my area of knowledge, but if the statement above is correct, the coin shown in my KM (2000) is a fake, too.

In my 2005 edition there is a photo of a 1930 coin there. Different year - different dies.
