Coin Orientation : Sri Lankan 5 Rupee [επιλυμένο]

Hi,

I have recently bought the Sri Lankan 5 Rupee Non-Aligned Movement Summit Commemorative Coin .

(Numista Ref: N#21310)

According to Numista Catalogue, Orientation of this coin is Coin Alignment & Dia is 32 mm.

But the coin I have, is having Medal Orientation (As most of the Sri Lankan Coins) & Dia is around ~32.8 mm.

So I checked with other forums, Some of them says it is Medal Orientation & Dia is 32.84 mm.

Official Ref: https://www.cbsl.gov.lk/en/notes-coins/notes-and-coins/commemorative-coins-and-notes

I am wondering is it a fake coin?

I am aware of Modern Chinese Fake coins of rare Gold & Silver coins are produced and available in market .

Are they making fakes of other metal (Like Ni, CU-Ni etc.,) coins also??

If yes, it is very sad to hear.

Kindly assist.

Thanks in Advance.

Mine as well! Error in numista!

All the coins I have from Ceylon and Sri Lanka from 1828 on are medal alignment. Earlier are coin alignment.

I submitted a change request for this coin.

Thanks for Confirming Sjoelund & bjherbison.

Much appreciated.
