Title: Fake 1934 florin on eBay

This is a modern counterfeit, I don't understand why they'd counterfeit a 1934 - maybe they got the 2 and 4 mixed up.

That fake toning reminds me of some of the 1932's they were doing at one stage.

They probably do a 1934 as people would pay more attention to 2s.

Its a nightmare as the fakes get better every year and now it looks like they are targeting unsuspecting dates.

Is there any Info on the Forum on how to post pics?, or do i have to download them to an external site first.?? TIA
