The auction smells of a fake, but wouldn't it be an incredible coin if it was real?

What would be the most recognizable traits to look for in a fake for this date?

Only one feeback since 2000 (and that buyer NARUed), location Ukraine but the coin is in the Netherlands. None of this inspires confidence in the seller. The dies appear to match known genuine specimens, however.

I think the coin is genuine. I'm less convinced that the seller actually has the coin to sell.

I wonder if the picture is from a Gelos or similar auction?

Likely to be stolen pictures from somewhere.
