You have the attribution correct. It is an H-14.01, which is a ten-cash with a plain reverse. The diameter and weight are within tolerance. Weight and diameter vary a bit to a lot for cast cash due to how they were made, but 30mm is on the high side.
If there was a crescent on the reverse, you would not have to squint. They are VERY obvious, as obvious as the picture in Hartill.
The details and fabric of this coin look authentic, but the patina looks suspect. I do not like tan with electric blue. Could you take pictures intstead of scans? After looking through a bunch of these coins, one can see that there is a difference between a patina being "on" (applied or induced) a coin and being "a part of" (naturally-occuring) a coin. Actual pictures will help differentiate this.
I am leaning towards genuine on this one.
