Trying to determine if this is real or fake. The patina seems a little off to me. Thoughts?

It's 100% genuine a common late Roman Bronze (LRB) of Constantius II Fallen Horse series first struck in 348 AD.

I see nothing that sets off alarms. Wonderfully preserved reverse.

@jay, it is good to look at your coins with a critical eye and having such differently worn sides of a coin certainly is something to warrant a second look. Good thinking!
