The coin appears to be an ancient Roman Republican denarius, if you look at the bottom of the reverse you can see the word ROMA. The coin looks like it is real but without knowing the size and weight I can say 100%.

Can you provide any info on the size and weight?

Looks like an AR Victoriatus, like the below example:

Yeup, Victoriatus. Its sort of like a precursor to the denarius.
