Looks fake and artificially aged. The reverse design matches no known 1794 varieties. The head/cap look all wrong in general.
Specifically for the reverse, all that I can really see is the ribbon and the leaves/berries next to the ribbon. The ribbon loops are all wrong for the year, and no ribbon loop shape matches with any of the leaf/berry positions to either side of it.
For the obverse, the cap is too far away from the head. There are visibly a great many scratch marks from what looks like a wire brush, particularly prominent along the rim. Also, look at the enormous forehead indentation, that shouldn't be there either.
The obverse looks nearly identical to this fake:

though the reverse differs.
