Yes, definitely a contemporary forgery (very common) of a silver skin clad onto a base metal core - the core is corroding and bursting through in places which is causing those greyer-looking patches and random protrusions through the silver skin. So, no scrap value at all to speak of, but an interesting bit of social history and probably worth keeping thus.2 points

Seemed as good a place as any as bought the Halfpenny from the last LCA with obverse 1.

Sad to hear it's a fantasy piece, but also good to know to watch out for them.1 point
