If I were going to counterfeit coins, I would pick something easier and of greater value. The 50 Pence coin would be difficult to counterfeit because it is heptagonal for a start.

Most counterfeit coins would pass at a glance as the real thing, but on closer inspection, there will be something not quite right about them.

They might be a little lighter in weight, the edges, especially on a 50 Pence coin might be a little irregular, the images on the coin may be a little comic or a bit clumsy in appearance, the front and back of the coin might be out of alignment, the lettering may be skewed or inconsistent.
