Lauer of Nurnberg was the only known producer of those and all three grades were struck using the same die. Bronze grade has a very deep and rich bronze color to it, nothing like the one you show. It is trying to be silver and while it does come close as far as the copies go it is definitely different from accepted originals. Furthermore if there was another producer of those I do not think they would mark it for competition.

One more question ... What does the number stamped directly under the initials LN on the reverse indicate?
Attachment 682106 It is a year they founded the company Lauer of Nurnberg (hence LN although later on the company expanded opening up location in Berlin as well)

No but you have used Matthew's information and posted it with acknowledging where you obtained it.
It is a pet peeve of mine when I see others making use of information they have been provided in good faith and passing it off as their own. A note to acknowledge where you got your information from would have been the decent thing to do.
