real? or maybe not?

Probably not, but I want to see what the mavens here say.

 

Not that I know much about these coins. I've only recently started learning about them. I do not believe yours is real. If it is, it is a fairly well struck example compared to a lot that I have seen. Have you weighed it?
Here is an example of mine that I was graciously gifted not too long ago.

 

Many thanks for your input! The coin weighs 2.97 gr.

 

That's pretty light (particularly given the lack of wear). So it's probably fake.

 

it looks like a pressed fake( not cast- see the cracks on the side? you wont see this with a cast fake)

 

Something about the implements on the reverse looks wrong.

 

A forgery unfortunately.
