Silver Tone Coin

Trying to find out what a certain ancient coin was made of, see discription below.?
I can not tell if this is fake, my research has not appeared real answers but I think it's false. This is a Guildiner 1484 - has some gold tones coming through the silver (maybe bronze), was totally this silver coin? It is in very good shape, but has been placed in a wine taster for what was not wear pocket. Any information would be great. Thank you very much.
1 - Take your coin to a local coin dealer (the confidence intervals can be found - shop around). Never hurts to have a second opinion. They will able to say much more by evaluation the condition of the coins. Also know the amount minted and what it is in their favor in the market today. 2 - Try to post photos on this website (there are many experts who can help you assess - may also be people willing to buy if you're trying to sell): http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/default.asp 3 - Repost this question and include pictures. You can use websites like http://www.photobucket.com and include the link in your question. Good luck! PS Do not clean their currencies. Most coin collectors see cleaning a coin as the equivalent of stripping down antique furniture and refinishing it. During the cleaning, metal surface of the coin is often stripped. Anything to scrub the coin will leave scratches (even 100% pure silk will leave scratches birth hair). Most cleaning products have some kind of reaction with the metal of the coin and the metal surface can also be removed this way. His best bet is to leave the coins alone. Cleaning the coin will leave traces - which can be found by the collector of knowledge - which in turn will not buy the cleaned coin. In addition, if you ever wanted to send your coin into a grading company, they can recognize signs of cleaning and we will send your coin back in a "cleansing" of the slab (also called "body bag" in the world of currency) - which is usually a very small value. If you absolutely must must clean your coins do not use the method described above, as it reacts with the metal in your currency. Use 100% acetone (do not use nail polish remover!). Must be 100% pure because other additives will react with the metal of the coin. Place your coin (s) in the solution for several minutes (do not leave for a long period of time.) Rinse your coin (s) in distilled water. Next remove your coins and either pat dry with a soft cloth or allow the coin to air dry (air drying is better than you do not risk scratching the coin with fabric.) NEVER scrub your coins! Still I would advise you to leave your money as they are. There can be shiny and bright, but that is what most collectors prefer.
