That doesn't look very nice. Where's the tail detail? Or the cloak, horse, dragon, George or groundline for that matter? Everything on the reverse is wrong. The obverse looks better simply due to the fact there is less fine detail.

My 1893 attached. Ok, it's the other end of the time period, but the surfaces of yours look featureless with nothing clearly struck up, particularly on the reverse which is the bit with the finer engraving.

Yes, but at least the rest is struck up. Compare George's face or the horse's head, bridle, or the dragon detail. All the detail on your coin is mushy and ill-defined. It's a cast.
