Looks real to me. It is a very nice and heavy one to ( the average weight for these are like 4 grams or so) I have one that is 5.7 grams that I bought along time ago. I remember reading somewhere that there is a theory that these heavy weight Antoninianii may have been worth more than the "normal" weight Antoninianii.
