What is your opinion of this 1843 rouble? Is it also a fake?

I believe it is, but at least one dealer to whom I have pointed this
out thinks that it could possibly be genuine. Don't know why, though,
because just about everything, from the crummy letter shapes to the
crowns on the eagle reverse to the ribbon at the botom of the obverse
as well as to the relative distance between SPB and the date, is
wrong. It is certainly less obvious a fake than the one you have
shown, though.
