Poking around ebayUK, I see these 2 listings..nothing matches up, and, I assume these are "New" Counterfeits?

They are modern concoctions, make no claims to be fakes, or genuine. They are just a pair of obverses and reverses combined to provide gullible consumers with something that they won't be able to sell easily in the future. The 1823 obverse doesn't even look real. Pence, not pounds should be the real price and I would recommend you avoid them.

Thanks Rob..I was learning die pairings, and, these caught my eye, as they did not match...had a feeling they were modern, now I know..I DO like contemporary counterfeits that are legit...and old...these are pretty terrible...at least I spotted wrong pairings, and asked before foolishly buying, hoping for "gold"!!!!

If you look at his feedback, all his sales are similar modern crap

Yes, not counterfeits but modern fantasy creations often sold misleadingly as 'patterns'

Not sure who they are supposed to appeal to. The same people who want an Edward VIII shilling perhaps. But since I'm fairly sure the ones you've listed are base metal, they are pretty much worthless. Except on ebay of course ..

The 1823 'two pounds' is not without interest. These are pendants made for watch-chains and there are many varities - some better done than others.

The 1823 'coin' went for £103, incredible!! What's going on there I ask!!

Greed and ignorance presumably.
