What is the difference you ask? Okay I will again play the straight man and set you up for some insane response.

Long Red Arrows show tight cluster of curls on the real coin with wide rivers between on the fake

Short red arrows show fine detail in the hair on the real coin

There are so many OBVIOUS sign that this is a fake it is sad.

My diagnosis is that the pictured Fake is in fact a silver round, that is a 1 ounce silver token.
