1848-A Louis Philippe 5F in white metal, and an authentic coin of the same date and mint for comparison. The fake is significantly underweight.

1849-A Ceres 5F (2nd Republic). This contemporary fake is also underweight and has a somewhat granular surface. An authentic piece is provided for comparison.

Nice looking napoleon.
I have been keeping an eye for one of those platinum fakes. Found none yet. They must be rare now.

Interesting topic! Thanks for sharing pictures everyone.

jecz79: if you are looking for affordable gold plated platinum counterfeits, I would recommend Spain. These are a lot easier to find.
