User “bgriff99“ on http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=38838 : “ Yes, a forgery made for circulation. Many if not all of the small poor quality ones Hartill refers to are private recasts using original ones, slightly trimmed, as seed coins. This one is from an originally cut pattern, multiplied with cast lead mother cash. The metal looks like it has extra lead added.“
