Can't see it in proper detail.  Can you see WRL stamped on it anywhere ?  if you can it's a modern copy.

It looks good though, not like the copies I've got.  Have you done a silver test ?

All you need is a bit of kitchen foil and some spit.   

Put coin in foil spit on it wrap it up and leave for a few minuets. If it stinks when you open it up you know you've got silver.

Looking good, fingers crossed.
