Well I have looked at this Krisse and I think it is either a cast reproduction or is a worn original.
The wear looks a little too 'regular' and I can't understand how the medal would be so worn but some of the tartan stippling looks to be spot on to an original type.
There are what I believe to be casting flaws on the one side. Holes and dinks.
It looks a peculiar colour of bronze in your first pictures.
If it was offered to me I think I would pass on it
All the best

Well, it shows the expected pitting and also a amount signs from wear.
Can't find any traces of casting...
