This is a very rare and valuable type. On that basis alone I lean towards "fake." However, we could use some better pictures to help in the assessment.

Here's the type it references:

An update: I just spotted two fakes of this type at forgerynetwork.com and I'm sorry to say that your coin does seem to be a match for them.

Hope you didn't pay a lot for this. I agree it's fake.
