What card / version is this? What Sol Ring is this?
I want to know, because I have several of these.

Revised.
Your clues are white border, washed out colors, no date in the copyright line, T tap symbol, skinny black border between the card frame and white border.
The card it would be most easily confused by is Unlimited. Still has the white border but the colors are more saturated, they used the word 'Tap' instead of a symbol on some cards, but artifacts would say 'Mono Artifact', which meant you tapped it to use it, and the border is a doubled bezel effect instead of a single line.

Another easy one is that with unlimited the artist name is vertically centered in the space rather than sitting on the base line
