A further look into this coin seems to show a few interesting die markers on both sides

The second A in GRATIA seems to be an inverted V it also has a interesting clogged die at the Letter G

here is the normal V & A in VICTORIA

the reverse is also interesting showing almost circular die cracks to the central field and what seems to be re-punching of the N in CENTS

It looks that way but the more I look at it the more it looks suspect to me. There seems to be a lot of scuffing in that area of the coin and if you look at the foot of the A it almost appears to have been filed away. Of course I have always been considered a bit paranoid and undoubtedly consider things faked until proven wrong.

In an industry where a subtle error in coin substantially affects it's value I consider it safe to think that way.

The broken vine to the upper right leaf is a marker for Chinese counterfeits.
Maybe nickelsguy can have a look.

The serif of the A in REGINA also looks suspect.
