I found it on the commons I suspect the coin on the right might be
real just really badly worn, I was wondering what you guys think?

The coin on the left is clearly a typical fuzzy-design fake with no edge
lettering (although it may be a counterfeiter's error worth a large
amount of money one day), but I think the one on the right is a battered
real one.
The edge beading is crisp, and even in the photo I can make out details
in the shield, and I suspect the motto will be well detailed too.

Yes I wasn't in any doubt that the coin on the left was fake, but I'm
glad to get (so far) a second opinion on the right one.
