I was cruising through the Roman coins on ebay when I came across this coin.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/227473200016?

What do you think? Fake or not.

It's definitely not an ancient coin, but I wouldn't call it fake because it is a modern reproduction; so not really made to fool people, more like a museum gift shop item.

The seller is passing it off as a genuine ancient coin.

Seller also says it is certified by NGC but it is not in a holder.

Last sentence in the item's description...

Comes with a handwritten papyrus scroll, delivering a story right to your hand.

I'm not an expert, but that sure looks fake to me.
