    Looks fine to me. And not a fourree.

    If it were a fourree, you'd see silver plate flaking away from a copper core. It's a perfectly genuine Azes tetradrachm. They tend to be porous with relatively low silver fineness.

    ...And I've never seen a fourree with tooled fields but they may exist. Sooner or later you'll see all sorts of things on coins.
