Hi everyone, I recently acquired this coin and I’m suspicious about its authenticity. I’ve noticed a significant lack of definition in the design, especially on the bridge's structure and the Queen's portrait, which look quite 'mushy' or blurred.

​The fields have a grainy texture instead of being smooth, and the edge milling looks poorly executed compared to a genuine Royal Mint strike. Interestingly, the weight and diameter are consistent with official specifications

I would be very grateful if you could help me identify whether this is indeed a forgery or not. Thank you!

It looks manipulated, althoght not fake, I could be wrong tho
